A disheveled cop drama that is no better than the worst episode of any tv cop drama; DeNiro and Pacino sleepwalk through this tired, lifeless genre exercise which has no excitement, suspense or humor and tries to liven things up with one of the most predictable twists ever committed to film; Dennehy is especially wasted as the hard-ass lieutenant, and about the best I can possibly say is that at least no one is ever asked to turn in their badge and gun like all other detective dramas of this ilk. See if you can count how many times DeNiro calls someone a mutt or a dog. Final Grade: D+

You're spot on with this one. I started to have flashbacks of how much I enjoyed Heat, the coffee scene they had, and their smack talking before watching this. I haven't been able to bring myself to write a review yet though =)
