So I'm not quite as in love with this as most of you guys are; the middle 1/3 dragged just a tiny bit too much for my tastes.

Still really liked it though: 3.5/4

I just can't get over how bold this script is. The 'we have to be as bad as the bad guys and work with bad guys to beat some other, even worse guys and that's just how Life is' narrative is a tired attempt at rationalization of shitty moral and often illegal behaviour so that a) people stop questioning the pointless and costly 'war on drugs' and b) the corrupt individuals fighting drug crimes get to feel good and unconflicted about themselves. Sorry, you don't get to do that.
That's how life is.
Don't give him too much of a shock!
Naa, that's just how the people involved in the drug war tell you life is in an effort to rationalize and justify their behaviour.
