Mike ( Jesse Bradford) is a good cop and his partner David (Lochlyn Monroe) is not so good. During a drug bust Mike accidentally shoots a 15 year old kid. David devises a cover-up by planting a gun on the kid and claiming he shot first. Jessica (Mena Suvari) is called in to do an internal investigation which lasts the whole picture with not much complexity.
The problem I had with the film is that if the kid shot at the police, there would be a bullet in the wall from that gun. They didn't even check, something that would make this an open and shut case. Instead Jessica must solve the case using hypothetical evidence.
The acting was decent. The script was bad.

I CAN ONLY TELL THE TRUTH
Taut Internal Affairs
Taut police Internal Affairs investigation. Great production and acting. What is missing is any real crime scene investigation which would have taken the story in a different direction. Instead the relationships between almost everyone involved become the focus. The movie is the better for it but you have to forget about the forensics.
Watch this movie for Jasmine Mooney and Natasha
The first 15 minutes of any action/crime/suspense movie is very important as this gains much percentage of the success.
Good: ----- (1) filmed in nice locations. (2) Mena Suvari and Martin sheen are two important characters did right justice. (3) Augustine (director) put his maximum effort without doubt. (4) Real light filming.
Bads ------ (1) they spent 5million dollars wondering where did it go... (2) Two cops fight not surprises you. What special story you can create with this.. (3) It feels like I am watching a television serial episode not a real movie.. (4) Actress Jasmine Mooney is my sex symbol..Glad to see her full naked in very short scene. She appears as a drugged slave without clothes for 10-15 seconds. I would have picked her role till end of the movie as a drugged slave. Another nude girl is Natasha in sex scene. No idea why Jasmine Mooney is not in a sex scene. Dream to see her again in sequel-2.. This message I am passing to film makers.
