Professional. Unscrupulous.

CrimeDrama

A police captain arranges the release of a criminally insane prisoner, who soon winds up dead. When the District Attorney takes on the case, he uncovers corruption in the department and vows to take down the man who's responsible.

VIBE

A bleak, morally ambiguous descent into the rot of the system. This film feels like a smoke-filled room where every conversation is a veiled threat and justice is a dirty word. It's a grim, uncompromising look at power and its corrupting influence.
