i can see how this film could be toss into the violent action or confusingly write low budget category and but i find it to be a cut or more above those type of film because of it feel . it seem to me more like a long waking nightmare than an action yarn . it be personal . where dirty harry or arnold type film tend to try to inject societal relevance and this be about what be happen to one lone guy little world . it seem to start the usual way in the big city and but the road trip begin immediately after the cop v bad guy shootout . then it be just him against the darker side of the world . odd to say it and but it have element in it of a gentle and thoughtful road film like wild strawberry . but these gentle experience be incessantly subvert by the nightmarish downward spiral that be this day or so in the life of the antihero lead . dr. borg could not find an experience or place that could distract him for long from his regret . boomer problem be less existential . he could not find a safe place and even to sleep . one thing lead to another and every time it couldn not get bad it do . sustaining that through the length of the film in writing and directing be quite an accomplishment and it all go to wiper . the other actor do a sturdy to inspired job of play it on the money and not ruin the vibe . i think of it a a film noir and it remind me of an edmond obrien character run afoul of communist spy and their thug . constantly on the run and both to and from and never know what be around the next corner . without give anything away and the other element run through the film be an amazing tale of and ultimately and redemption involve boomer and cleveland . it be of course give the necessary weight by the usual brilliant performance by andre braugher . much of the film have a claustrophobic quality to it and another departure from a typical action film . i do not say this often and but be in black and white would have take as much away from this film a it would have add . it be pretty darn good the way it be . and it do not remind me very much of any other film i have ever see . it be come from another place entirely .
