I always enjoyed watching detective films where detectives have miserable and dark lives without a family and a shiny home. (Morgan Freeman is the best actor that can give what i really want meaning "the atmosphere") Anyway, the film gave the painful lives of the agents and the big city burning with murders in a respectful way with the acting of Robert and Al. They acted very well that anybody would think they were once a professional cops before actors. Somehow, i didn't enjoy the final plot. The final scene didn't leave an affect on me. It could have been done better. I don't want to add a spoiler so i wouldn't mention about that.
