[FELONY opens
in Cleveland on Friday October 17th exclusively at the Capitol
Theatre.]
Review
by Bob Ignizio
Our sympathies are with Detective Mal
Toohey (Joel Edgerton) right off the bat in FELONY,
an Australian drama Edgerton also wrote the screenplay for. While
chasing a suspect in the film's opening scene, Toohey takes a shot in
the stomach. Fortunately he's wearing his bullet proof vest, but he
was putting his life on the line for his job nonetheless. While
celebrating his survival and a successful bust, Mal has a bit too
much to drink. He's a cop, so he gets a pass at a sobriety
checkpoint, and besides, he's not really that drunk, right? Drunk
enough to sideswipe a 9 year old boy out riding his bike, it turns
out.
