One of Josh Brolins best! Supporting that Burt Reynolds on his face!

As someone that grep up in ny in the 70's those undercover cops have the look and the accents to a "T". Well done. And Brolin really did his research on his.

At 1:06 the other cop asks about going in the city when in actuality, they're LEAVING the city. They're passing the bus terminal in Washington Heights about to go to Jersey for that shot. Guess they couldn't get a permit to film from the other side of the bridge

Actually, this is indicative of the true mentality of an apex predator.
