In the seamy underworld of London cops, everyone plays by their own
rules. There is no one to trust. Police units are in league with
criminals and competing with each other for increasing shares of the
profits. Laws are not enforced so much as used for advantage over
others. As vice cop Michael Logan, with a coke habit and indolent
nature, attempts to carve out a larger share of the illicit income for
himself, he gets trapped between a ruthless pair of Albanian brothers
and his fellow officers who are trying to trap him. Those who should be
protected by the law are instead neglected and placed in greater
danger. The director and writer based the character of Logan on someone
he knew personally. Despite shaky acting of some in the supporting
cast, this is a compelling portrait of police officers who are
indistinguishable from criminals. The betrayals and back stabbings are
underscored by a dark soundtrack by Matt Johnson and The The. Seen at
the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.
