Audience Member This is my first review, which I had to write because this movie is a hidden gem. Filmed all on location on the streets of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens which is where I grew up. Adventures of a seasoned detective and his new female partner. Great acting and interweaving stories with a very satisfying ending. Definitely could be a sequel or a series. Likable characters and great dialogue..Easy to follow story that flies by quickly. You will not look at your watch. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/19/24 Full Review Clarissa F Too chaotic; also, the jumping from Brooklyn to Bronx to Queens to Manhattan in the background was just too much. Don't waste your time. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/30/24 Full Review Seth Michael M Saw the film with my mom. She’s 83 and grew up in Brooklyn and Queens… she loved the fast pace of the film and the shots of NYC. A lot of the shots were both gritty and beautiful at the same time (if that makes sense). I feel like you not only captured NYC but a very special and specific time it’s going through… I thought it really captures this unique time after Covid when the soul of the city has been beaten out of it. I related to Deo a lot. The line about time square being better with the porn? What a great line! I was like fuck yeah that was the soul of NYC!!! As an acting teacher, my students come here looking for Taxi Driver and Midnight Cowboys Time Square and find a giant Mall that looks like Disneyland meets Vegas!! I say the same thing “ it was better with the porn” I think it would be a great series. And I think Willie Carpenter would make a great wisdom character. And having Tango bring humanity back to Deo is a great touch. It gives them a way to communicate episode to episode….as he walks Tango and meets up with the old man. I was really happy with my bit with Willie too It’s my most relaxed and at ease performance on film ever. I’m so glad that we made that happen. The chemistry between the two main characters was outstanding. And I really liked the strength of the woman in charge of the department and her ability to be protective and crushing at the same time. I think it would be a wonderful series. It reminded me a bit of the pilot of Firefly which is one of my favorite cancelled series…. The banter chemistry acting violence etc… it was to good for TV… It was nice to watch coming off my post show, post election depression… Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Kava C I picked this film because it looked like an underdog. I thought I'll be able to tell in a few minutes if this is garbage. Shockingly it was not garbage. The acting was really good and the direction was excellent - a lot of attention to detail and implication. I found myself on the edge of my seat but also surprised by the timing and action that did occur. Overall believable and packed with an evolving yet simple story with empathetic characters that left me wanting to watch more.
