A different kind of a cop story; a unique way of cops investigating their own. Early on, I realized that what I thought was going on wasn't quite correct and sat back and enjoyed the movie rather than trying to second guess where it is headed. Acting is superb. Yes, the ending is quite confusing and, I think, quite deliberately so. My Rating: 7.5
