Uninspiring cop film that seems like they hoped it would be more. Apparently it’s based on a series of books but the film does nothing to recommend reading the books.
Having seen The Boys and growing to like Urban in that, my opinion of him might be more generous now than it would have been before the boys. In saying that, I didn't mind him in this. He wasn't amazing but there wasn't a lot to work with beyond his scenes with Garcia. Garcia being the stand out here as he clearly wasn't ready to phone in his performance for this low-budget cop film. The cast was the primary draw for me to watch this film but Vergara should probably stick to comedy (she’s probably happy to do that). Special mention goes to Trai Byers as Chuck whose performance I enjoyed more than most of the support cast.
In terms of the story, there is nothing you haven't seen before so I could detail the twists and it wouldn't be a big spoiler. At least some of the reveals made sense due to having been set up earlier in the film rather than the characters just magically figuring everything out and the viewer having no sense of their being a mystery to solve. I just wasn't invested in the characters enough to bother trying to solve it.
