All of them are challenged to solve a crime that will be committed that same day.

They all live in a sick society in which violence, ambition and sordidness are rampant. Clint Eastwood sniffs into the open wounds of that society and draws a terrible and abrasive portrait of the inhumanity of humans. Three actors in a state of grace, especially a sublime Tim Robbins, sustain an immense film that attacks the emotional support of the viewer to shake him and throw him into reality: that reality that one always prefers not to look at.
