John Hawks is Kendall, an former cop who must have done SOMETHING pretty bad to get tossed off the force, as we hear in the opening phone call. When he brings a girl who's all banged up to the hospital, he wants to find out what happened. His cop friends tell Kendall to lay off and butt out, but he's curious. And unemployed. So he keeps digging. The big name in here that i recognize is Octavia Spencer... oscar for The Help! For the rest of the film, Kendall is digging around, and getting yelled at by the cops for sticking his nose into their investigations. Lots of blood and guts along the way. His life will be become so complicated for getting involved in all this. It's okay. Written and directed by brothers Eshom and Ian Nelms .
