Overdramatized? Hmmmm... I thought the male characters were a bit stereotyped in the beginning, making them thoroughly unpalatable, but that's mellowed and become more realistic. If anything, the actors & director have agreed to come up under the drama, as most cops do in order to cope. I appreciate that, as its really not in the dialogue, but clipped language and excellent close-ups where the emotional meat is being served. But hey, the action shots are great! Belo does her own stunt work, and that woman can RUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNN!!
