1* EnsembleDarkhorse: Comic relief supporting characters T.K. Anderson and David Wayne are generally considered as doing their jobs particularly well among the cast.
2* FairForItsDay: While the film does a lot of glamorizing of CowboyCop antics that might get a mixed reception from New 20s' viewers, DaChief and InternalAffairs figures are given a nuanced portrayal, and the film does delve into the threat of police corruption victimizing the black community and the sinisterness of the Blue Wall while also having the leads speak disapprovingly of how Detective Montini is a bully who has been involved in multiple suspicious shootings.
3* HarsherInHindsight: It can sting for modern viewers to watch Music/{{DMX}} play a man trying to bring down a drug ring, given how, in 2021, he died of the effects of a long term addiction to cocaine.
4* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: DMX and TK go to a car dealership to openly flaunt their wealth as part of DMX's plan to ensnare the drug dealers he's plotting against. While there, they pretty much embarrass the one (possibly self-hating) Black car salesman in the store, a snobbish {{Jerkass}}, forcing the poor guy to drop some F-bombs in public... and then toss a suitcase of money to the nearby White salesman; who was more collected while [[TheQuietOne silently watching the whole thing play out]] and tossing over the keys of the car DMX was in upon request, being the primary reason why the sale was successful.
5* HesJustHiding: Some see [[spoiler:Mulcahy's]] death as potentially survivable, and point out that the only person to outright say that [[spoiler:she]] was dead afterwards was someone with a good motive to lie to and manipulate Boyd.
6* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: [[spoiler:Mulcahy]], suffers from DroppedABridgeOnHim well before the climax despite havnig an interesting balanced [[spoiler:DaChief performance and some good ShipTease with Boyd]].
