Michael Douglas really hits it out of the park with this thrilling, and somewhat controversial (not for me but for others, maybe yes?) at times, movie.

Robert Duvall plays the role of the older, near retirement cop, who's relegated to being an "indoor cat". Douglas "falls down" and does some bad things to some mostly bad people, becoming an anti-hero, while all along we know that he is the bad guy. Or is he? Yes, he is. Am I sure about that? Yes. Okay. Last chance. Yeah he's the bad guy. You'll see... I recommend this to all water gun, snow globe, army boot, retirement cake, boardwalk, fast food, cola, briefcase, and gun fanatics.

Full disclosure, I'm a big fan of TTH. However, regardless of that fact, this doc is so well-done and thoroughly entertaining and precise, that it shattered my expectations.

I also had the pleasure of also seeing the first half screened at the VIFF (Vancouver International Film Festival) with the surviving members, director, manager, etc in attendance (Fun fact: Craig Northey of the Vancouver band The Odds was in attendance - he and Rob Baker perform in Stripper's Union together). I had difficulty keeping it together. Such an emotional journey that is perfectly captured in this film.

Give it a watch and stay until the ending, which I found incredibly fitting and moving.
