The film is a good example of a highly successful neo-noir which not only followed the conventions of film noir, but also broke some to introduce plot/character development. An example of which can be seen when the various LAPD officers begin a fight in the prison, creating a scene which is high octane and visceral, set to tense and dramatic music which keeps of building up.
