Just meant to watch the opening... Watched the first 45 minutes before I was able to stop. Going to finish it the next day.
Finished the film. I really liked this as an epilogue to one of my favorite series. It has the feel of the series and so many returning characters. There are few CGI things (train at the beginning and fire later on) that were quite ugly but other than that this was really good film.

Really a slow burn cop thriller-drama with brutal scenes and shootouts that are familiar to S. Craig Zahler's earlier work. I really liked Vince Vaughn's and Mel Gibson's chemistry as a cop partners. The slow pace made it feel like you're with the cops at the stakeout car. The acting is great all around Vaughn, Gibson, Jennifer Carpenter (smaller role but still great performance) and Tory Kittles are all great. Also those masked men... Just wow, their brutality and actions. They added that Edge of your seat -intensity to the film every time they were on screen.
