For a pretty standard police hunt movie, it's got a few unusual twists. First, there's a plot line involving a cop who has nothing to do with the main story. Her role is interesting, but there's something misleading about her part in the movie. I might have to give it more thought, since there's probably some meaning behind the inclusion. The other noteworthy twist is that the ending is completely unexpected. We actually only figure it out at the same time the antagonist does. This is surprisingly effective.
The pacing is a little slow, but there's a certain atmosphere to the production. There's a mildly dreary color palate, and it places the weather and the locale very well.
The action is fairly minimal, but the violence is tough, and without a sense of levity. This gives it a better sense of being grounded in reality.
This isn't a great movie, but it's entirely watchable, and pretty engaging.
