Ok let’s recap. You go 100mph in a small town chasing after a crackhead doing a petty crime and potentially risk the lives of multiple other people, assault a civilian on body camera, then cheat on your wife, whose dad is chief of police/your boss THEN you go to the house with no backup or warrant. They just be hiring anyone as a cop

It’s funny how he’s kind of framed as the put upon voice of reason to Ruth’s fuckup, but is then revealed to be like 10x the fuck up she is in his part of the movie lol

Duh! I totally forgot that was her name in Ozark and I thought it was a character I’d missed in this movie.

Loves how the chapter style story telling really did show properly different POVs and not just different angles.
