Synopsis

From the writer of Training Day comes an explosive urban thriller about two friends who, in spite of their best efforts to turn their lives around, only succeed in dragging each other down.

Jim Davis (Christian Bale) hasn't been able to get his life back on track since he came home from the Gulf War. Plagued by nightmares and unwilling to take a desk job, he tells himself that if he gets a job with the LAPD, everything would turn  around - he could marry his devoted Mexican girlfriend and bring her back to the States to settle down.

In the meantime, he's just killing time with his friend Mike (Freddy Rodriguez) much to the dismay of Mike's high-powered wife Sylvia (Eva Longoria). Driving around the streets of South Central looking for trouble, dealing drugs and picking fights with gang members, they unwittingly sow the seeds of their own destruction.
