Really Disappointing with Some Woke Casting.

This is almost woke free and I guess could be considered woke free depending on opinion. The setting is the slums of LA so the large amount of black background characters is possible. A prostitute is obviously a man dressed like a woman in a wig. The villain is a non binary character played by a mentally ill 'non-binary' actor in real life but has literally about 3 min of screen time and hardly any lines. None of this is mentioned or preached about though. The acting and story are actually pretty good. The action scenes are a little hard to follow and oddly filmed. The real problem though is the pacing and editing. If feels like a 2-1/2 hour movie that got butchered and edited down to 100 minutes. Things happen that will have you scratching your head thinking you missed whole chunks of the film. There is no flow or progression to the story and nothing makes any sense. One example is several scenes that clearly establish that a fellow officer hates him and is berating him and throwing things at him. Then suddenly out of nowhere he is friendly and wants to help him take down the gang? There is a good movie hidden in here somewhere it's a shame this is what got released instead.
