I haven't finished watching the whole movie but all I could think after just the first 10 minutes was Cuba was just trying to do the exact samet thing Denzel did. Play against type as bad guy/corrupt cop. I don't knock him for wanting to play a different type of character. You can tell he is tired of being offered the same roles based on the fact he played a "bad guy" in American Gangster.
