Is this movie dumb or what?
******** SPOILERS!!! ********* SPOILERS!!! ********
Billy is a bad cop and a murderer, and someone who took advantage of the situation and got a beautiful girlfriend for himself. He's okay after the trial until he finds out that he will lose his job.
He also is someone who has no qualms about breaking and entering a stranger's house and then shooting a man in the leg and then beating him up. Then he leaves the supposed victim in the same house with the gunman he just beat up. Talk about taking justice into your own hands.
Yet, he suddenly has a sense of ethics when he wants to blow the whistle on the mayor who is taking kickbacks on a sweetheart deal. Is it believable that Billy has no qualms about falling on the sword and getting indicted for murder by implicating the mayor? It probably means that Billy will spend the rest of his life in prison for murder.
What about the evidence? The recording of Billy was at a public place, so it can be used. However, the mayor may not be indicted for what he was charged with. Billy's recording is inadmissible. That leaves the contract which isn't anything illegal and it doesn't spell out the mayor is making money on this. Is Billy a credible witness? He's a bad cop and murderer! Murdock who Billy shot and beat up probably has disappeared. Todd isn't going to say anything because he's probably gone, too.
There's already excess drinking in the movie and hangovers. I'm hungover from watching this rubbish.
