CGiii Comment
20 minutes in and you realise that there is absolutely no plot...only a annoying, wobbly camera.
It's a waiting game - you just know that one of the two policemen is going to pop his clogs.
Which one is it going to be?
A question that is not compelling enough to see the film through to the end.

The(ir) Blurb...
In South Central Los Angeles, street cops Brian and Mike are partners - balls-out cowboys patrolling the streets as Latino gangs are in a power struggle with Blacks. Brian and Mike get lucky a couple of times, making big drug and human-trafficking busts, so a Mexican cartel orders their deaths. We meet Mike's pregnant wife (whom he married out of high school) and watch Brian's search for a soul mate. There are internal squabbles within the ranks of the LAPD and lots of squad-car conversation. Can the lads escape the cartel's murderous reach?
