Cards on the table: I'm an unashamed fan of Aaron Eckhart's.

He's private with his private life, he's a good actor who's always interesting to watch and he's a handsome lad.

This film HAD potential.

The first hour or so was an interesting look at the solitary life of a cop in the canine unit and the reality of his job and the beat he's patrolling - the homeless encampments of downtown LA. Both the invisibles of society.

There was an attempt to address the scourge of Fentanyl addiction which has many states unable to cope.

So far, so interesting if a little slow.

All of a sudden, he gets a girlfriend, (why? - he would have been more believable as an older sexually ambiguous man who struggles with intimacy because of his combat history in Iraq - but I digress) his neighbour and they're shagging within 5 minutes of meeting.

Totes legit babes. And believable.

Then he gets involved with a drug gang, we're not quite sure if he's been sacked from his job because he's killed 2 people and then there's a female cartel boss stealing his dog (not sure why) then Pote from Queen Of The South turns up as a police dog dealing lumberjack and then Aaron goes all Rambo and kills everyone in 3 minutes suddenly helped by his sniper colleague who's hated him for the duration of the movie.

Cut to he now has a baby with the neighbour, still driving the drug dealers' stolen truck, and his dog loses a leg.

The End.

Que?

I mean I've seen episodes of Law & Order - Organised Crime - which made more sense.

And Chris Meloni is just as cute BTW.

Aaron, DARLING, bubbala, you've got to start getting on your knees again my love because this was easily one of the most nonsensical, rushed, poorly edited films I've seen since....... Yentl?

Who on earth did you piss off at Central Casting?

I've given this 3 stars because it's you (and I still would) even after this ridiculous storyline and atrocious studenty, we just ran out of money, ending.

But the film?

Ay dreadful.

Get a new agent my love because this one is either trying to torpedo your career or trying to make sure you only get hired by Lifetime.

No bueno.

And please don't get plastic movie star teef, I'm liking you grizzled and slightly wrecked looking.
