evidence to determine whether Cop 223 is any good at his job. In the film’s most energetic sequence, he makes a bust, but once he fixates on Lin’s mystery woman at the bar, he ignores the drug smuggler under his nose. He’s too blinded by heartbreak to notice.

The people at my church began to make assumptions and gossip about possible things that I could have done. Although the information was supposed to be confidential with the pastors of
