Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Small Town Crime (2018)

Mike is hoping to be reinstated as a cop after being caught drunk on duty the night his partner was shot, but that's just not gonna happen. When he finds an almost-dead young woman on the roadside, he can't help but try to investigate. Soon he's facing the ire of the cops on the case as well as real danger from the perpetrators.

It's quick-moving and smart with an antihero I couldn't help but root for. The very last scene even left the door open for a sequel... which I'm all for, even though it'd be bittersweet without Robert Forster reprising his role.

B+
