Bending The Rules

2012 · 84 min

A breezy, mismatched-partner caper that coasts on banter and low-stakes charm rather than suspense.

Directed by
Artie Mandelberg
Genres
Action, Drama, Comedy
Tagline
Justice has one small problem. Them.
Overview
Detective Nick Blades is a New Orleans cop on trial for corruption. Assistant District Attorney Theo Gold is the man in charge of putting him behind bars. When these two unlikely partners from opposite sides of the law stumble onto a criminal plot, they’ll need to rely on luck – and patience – to take down a dangerous killer without killing each other first.
How it feels
Light, absurd and cynical. Brisk and easy to follow.
