The characters will be familiar to fans of police procedural shows and TV movies.

The story simply doesn't stand up, with its combination of well-worn plot elements and confusing red herrings -- or maybe they're just details that don't add up.

[A] southern-fried rehash of David Fincher's Seven.

Scenes do not always necessarily follow one another. I was sometimes unclear who some of the characters were.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten

The only notable element of this police procedural is that director Ami Canaan Mann, daughter of filmmaker Michael Mann ("Heat," "Collateral"), who produced here, appreciates dad's esthetic but can't replicate it.
