The film basically breaks down in 3 acts which each act a unique story of itself, the second one the lead switches to character played by Bradley Cooper. I won't say too much but Ray Liotta and other cops takes him who is a "hero" (but doesn't feel like one for reasons which would be a major spoiler) to go into someone's house warrant-less take the money the bandit stashed in the crib. He reports it his supervisor who is outraged at him for even bringing it to his attention. Ray Liotta later that day suggests he follows him for a "talk" driving into the woods getting out the car is spooky. Ray Liotta plays a bad cop very well but was true to life it seemed for a fiction film.
