A detective who's obsessed with a very skilled villain finds a rare new opportunity to capture him.
I took a short break (from writing not from watching movies!) for lack of time and inspiration, but this movie made me want to tell everyone about how special it is. It's a cop story with a little drama, which manages to inspire sympathy for the good guy (as usual) but also some sympathy/empathy even for the bad one, but anyway, it's a story that keeps you engaged, it does not captivate, but definitely does not fail.
If that didn't sound too special, there's nothing to it, because this production wins infinite brownie points for the spectacularity of the cinematography. The perfect direction and the help of a top-notch cameraman manage to bring to life not only a police film but a genuine piece of cinematic art. Each flawless frame is perfectly thought out and perfectly highlighted. And this happens to such an extent that it almost distracts from the story that's unfolding on the screen.
Nothing is accidental and each scene is a delight for those who have a taste for the art of cinema.
Thumbs up big time!
