Messy, overwrought, and technically fuzzy, this cop opera still maintains a strong and passionate pulse.

Garcia turns in a solid, emotionally complex performance, and he keeps the audience involved when the plot takes some credibility-straining turns.

Makes the important point that our values don't just determine what we do but who we are.
