I just watched it....

WOW! Treat's "tough" attitude in the beginning really turned me on and then, as he became a broken man, it broke my heart. He did a spectacular job acting in a movie like this with such little experience. He's a very underrated actor.

The story itself choked me up. I used to date a really mean, psychotic cop who abused me but this movie actually made me feel sorry for Danny's group of cop friends.

Very well done and deserves more noteriety.

feel sorry for Danny's group of cop friends.
It's kind of hard to feel sorry for a group of adults. I think Danny said something like 'nobody becomes a cop to be a criminal.' But this group seemed to enjoy their activities, a bit too much.

I agree. They took it too far. Had to happen eventually.

Still, gotta love the intro scenes when they all 'strut' into the barber shop, on top of the world - almost like a scene from Reservoir Dogs.
