The show was masterfully shot and the plot is intriguing. You are invested and get a sense of who the characters are without entire episodes being dedicated to their development. The show is slow paced yet progresses far enough during each episode to keep you interested. This series is NOT for those who have to be constantly doped up on action scenes and cliffhangers. It does require a little patience but, all in all, very satisfying for fans of the genre.

You must go into this movie with the understanding that you can't even suspend disbelief. It's totally predictable. The meek protagonist, who turns into a "MacGyver had a baby with John McClane" type character. Weak plot, bad dialogue, and silly scenarios. There is some fun but ridiculous moments of action and blood drawing. Don't watch it with your wife or girlfriend. This is a ridiculous dude flick. When there's nothing to watch. Do it by yourself. So you can laugh, or yell, or roll your eyes, at the really dull_witted parts without someone telling you how dull-witted they are.

This movie will feel like you've seen it before. It's a mash-up, cop drama, dog bonding, and an over-the-top revenge ending. You never really get invested in any of the characters (including the dogs) and Eckhart's role feels all too familiar. "Been there, watched this" type feeling. You can, however, suspend disbelief up to the ending. The street scenes of LA do a decent job highlighting the real drug crisis plaguing our cities. So, as long as you have nothing of meaning going on, can watch it for less than four bucks (or preferably for free), and can handle disappointment...go ahead and give it a go.
