Sure, it might seem slightly derivative that they’ve done almost exactly the same thing here – the storyline takes place over two different timelines and involves what looks like two mismatched detectives being partnered up together, but it looks like there’s going to be enough going on here that it’s going to be worth tuning in for it. Check out the trailer below:

Yeah there’s a lot of moodiness and negativity going on there and Stephen Dorff doesn’t look like he’s happy to be Mahershala Ali’s partner does he? And it looks like Ali is really going to deliver an acting masterclass in this one, especially as that old man. Apparently there are three different time periods in this one which is slightly different to the first one at least. Calling that this is actually going to be really good right now though. You heard it here first.
