I expected much more. How could I say it ... Cinema is the seventh art, and the art said in a simple way is to express feelings. However, the message of this film seems more like a slogan than an artistic expression.
On the other hand, the script is bad: it contains hints of humor without grace, and the formula it has to make the plot is predictable and incorrect. For example, at the beginning of the investigation, an atmosphere of tension is created when Felix subjects Flip to the lie detector. It is obvious that he will be saved… I mean, if he's been saved from this, also when he's questioned at the bar, he's always going to be saved. It is also true that the racism shown in the film is forced. For example, in 'Serpico', discrimination between police - although it is of another type - it looks very well reflected.
To finish, as I said at the beginning, the message is very weak and this is reflected both at the beginning and at the end. If the movie weren't drunk on a commercial script, it wouldn't take an extraction of what happened in 2017. In my opinion this final scene is superfluous, there is no way to unite it with a film set in the 70s.
