like the idea of this film, but the trailer makes it look
like a cliche-fest. I also heard that the film was edited to
remove similarities to the RL Rampart division scandal, which
is kinda lame, though I don't know the whole story on that.

Saw the film last friday. It paints a vivid picture of some
of L.A.'s gang territories. The action gets a little big at
the end for the otherwise realistic tone, particularly in the
amount of physical punishment an individual can endure.
However, if this is the direction
crime/action/hardboiled/noir films are going, I will gladly
tag along.
I wouldn't discount a movie based on the trailer. Movies are
(hopefully) made by film makers. Trailers are cobbled
together by marketing departments.
