IMDb 7.0 Metacritic 56 RT 66%

James McAvoy's feral performance elevates this gritty, darkly funny descent into a corrupt cop's fractured mind, but the relentless bleakness and thin plot wear thin fast. The mixed scores tell you what you need to know—it's bold enough to try, but only if you're in the mood for something genuinely uncomfortable and don't need a payoff to justify the ride.

Plot

A bigoted junkie cop suffering from borderline personality disorder and drug addiction manipulates and hallucinates his way in a bid to secure promotion.
