German director Uwe Boll has the distinction of being one of the world's worst filmmakers yet nevertheless manages to make movies that are oddly watchable.

Rated: 1.5/5

The rest of the movie isn't particularly good, and many of its moving plot threads don't go anywhere. In fact, this entire 89-minute picture can be summed up as patient worldbuilding...

Rated: C-

Plays like it was made by aliens studying the concept of the buddy-cop movie.

Even with something as simple as a cop drama ... writer/director Uwe Boll doesn't seem to comprehend the basics of storytelling.

Flickering Myth

A nihilistic, copaganda exercise that is somehow flat in its relentlessness. It also goes out of its way to reinforce its belief that negative stereotypes are mostly accurate, complete with a childish tirade against woke culture

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.

Kristen Renton is this movie’s only saving grace ( not just because she’s good looking) because she doesn’t overact every single scene. Too bad the no one else knows what they are doing including/especially the director. Save some dogs for Kristen!

The sub stories in the film are just what is happening on their shift that particular day. The story is about the two people and their ice breaking as police partners reluctantly placed together. If you are looking for crime to be the focal point then it will miss the mark for you. If you are looking to see how two strangers with different mindsets and experiences work out being put together you'll see the story was told. Watching them figure out rather quickly how to find common ground and respect in order to protect each other in a job that isn't safe. Well that's the story.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
