It's getting sort of ridiculous that so many movies are still focused on characters who want to protect the badge or pretend there's no corruption in the police force. I think we've all seen enough films-- or read enough actual headlines -- that none of us are buying it anymore (if we ever did). Still, it will probably entertain. It looks intense. Everyone's brooding and volatile. My only issue is that, judging from the trailer, Farrell seems to be portraying an American. But have you met Colin Farrell? (I realize you probably haven't; I haven't either, but you know what I mean) He has the thickest Irish accent in the history of Ireland, or at least it has to be right up there. He tries mightily to cover it up for this movie, judging by the trailer. But something that powerful just will not go away easily. It keeps on leaking through. And if I'm distracted enough by that in the trailer, I'm pretty sure it's going to be noticeable in the movie. (Unless they say he's Irish in the movie; then this subtle Irish accent is forgiven.)
