Brilliant writing

The writer has the criminal logic of the "I'm not guilty, I'm innocent, it's all those cop's fault" thinking of character "Tommy Lee Royce" exactly right. Of course he thinks everyone else is out to get him and set him up. This is so prevalent in the hard core criminal community that it's actually nice to see it accurately portrayed in fiction for once. People tend to believe so much of what they see on telly and films these days that they don't believe the real thing when they see it. Of course there are a few loops that don't make sense, but are included for dramatic purposes, even Ron Howard admits to stretching the truth to add tension to his work. But all in all this is close to realistic policing in the real world.
