I kinda get that it's trying to capture the atmosphere of post-911 NYC, but the motivation for every bad decision made by all the characters is so baffling as to be unbelievable.
I get that the kids did some stupid things but nothing that would have caused them as much trouble as they later ran into.
I get that the police want to protect their own, but the lengths they go to in this film are not believable.
I get the reporter wanting to shine a light on corruption, but would she really allow herself to be completely used for a political agenda with no investigation of her source?
But most unforgivable of all.. why the hell would somebody completely destroy the lives of her childhood friends for... what? What the hell was she attempting to get? Attention for the plight of people living in the projects? To hurt the detective that was the only adult to ever do anything that helped her friends? To ruin his political ambitions because... WHY!? WTF!?
I don't mind the hour I spent watching the beginning of the film since it seemed to be leading to something, but the ending is just pure garbage.
If a young script reviewer had killed this project nobody would have gone looking for the body.
