Man, I forgot what a packed cast of big actors all we're in it. Unfortunately, the movie is a solid build up for about half the film, and then just fizzles with a sense of scattered direction and a weak resolution that has no payoff of what it could have been building to.
Sadly because the cinematography and setting for everything shot is fantastic, but the end of the 2nd and whole 3rd act are stillborn and ruined what could have been on par with say LA Confidential. With some script changes and tighter adherence to keeping it focused on the case and clues, it would have faired way better.
Shame because it started out so well and I wanted to get engrossed by the story.
