An investigation into a cop's death, uncovers a multitude of horrible secrets.
Directed by directed by Gee Malik Linton (under the pseudonym of Declan Dale) due to studio interference, Exposed is a wonderful looking, well acted hit and miss affair. Those new to twist driven dramas will get a thrill out Linton’s offering, while others will see the two main reveals coming a mile away and find unfolding of the payoff somewhat frustrating. That said, there's plenty to enjoy, from solid performances to Linton's splashes of semi-surreal imagery on a realistic backdrop.
The supposing cast are great. It's very much Ana de Armas film and while Keanu Reeves as Detective Scott Galban is present there's little for him to do. Christopher McDonald and Mira Sorvino also appear but notable is Big Daddy Kane who is outstanding as Black. Gabe Vargas Deserves a mention. Linton includes a strong social commentary about abuse, street crime and corruption through out.
Overall, visually arresting with a gritty atmosphere but don't expect the usual paced thriller despite the great cast involved.
