Brutal movie and important topic, but by the end of day it was something I really would have preferred not to have seen. Too disturbing for my tastes. Jake Gyllenhaal was quite good, very believable as his concerned character, and I felt what he felt more than once. However, he was utterly reckless as well in his role, so the runaway rogue cop was much less believable due to contrasting elements. And then, as all the pieces come together, the characters got rather thin and wooden, and the wrap up rather contrite, packaged too neatly for much of a reveal. Not my fav for a variety of reasons, and would have been just as happy not viewing. Do not recommend.
