A gritty 1970s cop thriller built on a cynical anti-hero's brutal pursuit of drug runners, prioritizing action and attitude over introspection or moral complexity.

A tough-guy cop pursues two drug runners across the city to bust a large syndicate. Very much an anti-hero, Mitchell often ignores the orders of his superiors and demonstrates disdain for by-the-book development work as well as normal social graces.
