First-rate cop thriller
Superior buddy cop thriller that I was suprised to learn didn't get nominated for Best Picture in 2001. A cop spends his first day in the narcotics division with his boss and the film goes off on an absurb but enthralling tangent as the cop gets some exposure to basic 'street' activities. Great acting performances, good direction and a great script combined to give an authentic feel to the environment and believability in the characters on screen. At times the film ploughs through moral areas that have been done before but there was just something about the film and characters that sucked me in and although it does cliche off a bit at the end, I thought this was the best cop thriller that I've seen since LA Confidential.
