This film is about a policeman trying to crack down a mob of drug dealers. Along the way, he discovers that good and evil may not be so well defined.
"Loaded" is unfortunately not loaded with thrills or action. It starts off very slow, in fact the first half of the film is rather dull. It tries to brighten up the screen by a lot of rather contrived and unnecessary fights, but I don't think it works so well. The frequent use of hip hop music also does not match with the film. In addition, the lighting is very badly done. Why did they keep on shooting against a window with broad daylight? Many characters become dark as a result, and the windows are always overexposed. There is even one scene where the character is lit by a yellow light while white light bursts through the window. They even managed to overexpose characters in a night club, and their skins and clothes reflect way too much light.
The second half of the movie is considerably better. The plot takes some unexpected twists, not unlike "The Infernal Affairs" and "The Departed". Good and evil becomes blurred, and the plot becomes more interesting. However, I still think that this film could have been so much better if it was better executed.
