Report

Synopsis

Working in the shadow of an esteemed police veteran, brash Detective Ezekiel “Zeke” Banks and his rookie partner take charge of a grisly investigation into murders that are eerily reminiscent of the city’s gruesome past. Unwittingly entrapped in a deepening mystery, Zeke finds himself at the center of the killer’s morbid game.

I just got done watching the film and I do not remember any teeth actually being damaged, however a character's tongue and mouth bleeds and there is a close up of their teeth with blood on them. As someone who has a thing with teeth, this was a bit uncomfortable.

Yes, but it is a very mixed bag. The movie is about the "blue wall of silence", and is critical of police in very relevant ways. However, it also implies that the problem isn't systemic, there's just a lot of "bad cops", and everything can be solved by getting rid of the "bad cops".

If you’re sensitive to gun violence, I wouldn’t recommend this movie. There are many parts in which people pull out their guns, and explicit gun violence in important scenes near the end.
