Its based on a true story
A movie like this needs Robert De niro or Al pacino somewhere somehow.... movie of the year? naw
the Aurora shootings is why it was pushed backThrowaway to me, anyway you look at it, was originally a September release, which is second only to the Jan/Feb release, as far as bottom shelf. It looks like something that has been kicking around for awhile, the writing and lines in the trailer are awkward, and just straight bad, combined with the generic, cliched, plot....40's setting, renegade cops...don't know why people want to see this shyt. It has some good actors.actresses, but people like Penn and Brolin seem like they are slumming, and this is something that Gosling probably did, or signed on before, last year, when he really found success.
