Anecdotes
The original Director's Cut focused on the Annalynne McCord character based on the original script rather than the added role of the Russian mistress played by Kamalya Zahoor. Unbeknownst to the director or the rest of the cast, producer Jeff Most had guaranteed Zahoor's wife a major supporting role, produced and directed a separate music video with her singing in the club, and even shot scenes that were never scripted under the title "Scene X" during principal photography, which they later edited into the final cut.

Gaffes
When Callahan orders a bourbon neat, the bartender pours him a shot of Johnny Walker Black Label, which is scotch not bourbon. This happens twice in the movie.

just good enough

Police detective David 'Cal' Callahan (Stephen Dorff) takes down a rapist cop but his boss Captain Verona (James Woods) cuts a deal to sweep the embarrassing situation under the rug. Cal is still haunted by a traffic stop where he was almost killed. One night, a man, claiming to be his unknown savior, comes to him with his dead daughter's diary. Zhanna Dronov (AnnaLynne McCord) was a stripper who started dating a client called Angel (Walton Goggins).

I like the dark tone, Dorff's performance, and big revelation. On the other hand, the first half is too complicated, there are too many flashbacks, and there are too many characters to focus on. This movie should focus on Cal and his Captain, Zhanna and Angel. Cal may not even need a family. It should explain more clearly Cal's investigation of Angel. He should probably assume that Angel is Zhanna's pimp to start. The overall story just needs more clarity. While this is by no means great, it is good enough with that reveal.
