If you enjoy tough, old-school crime thrillers with revenge, danger, and a gritty Southern backdrop, this may work for you, especially if you like Nighthawks or Dead Bang; Not for you if you want fresh plotting or sharp dialogue.
Pros: strong lead performances; moody New Orleans atmosphere; solid action beats | Cons: formulaic revenge story; weak dialogue; thin character depth
