A walk among the tombstones - 2014

 Not bad, but not too good either. 

In 1991, in New York, Matt Scudder was a cop who used to drink a lot, and he once shot two criminals and wounded a third who harassed and then killed a man. During that fight, a girl got caught in the crossfire. Matt stopped drinking that very day, 8 years ago.

In 1999 he’s sort of a private investigator - sort of as in, he does that but he has no license for it - and Peter, who he met at an AA meeting, takes him to Kenny who has a job for him.

Someone took Kenny’s wife, he paid the same day but they killed her anyway, and he wants Matt to find them. He refuses because Kenny is a drug dealer.

Kenny waits for him outside his door, and tells him how it went, how Carrie came to die. He tells him everything and Matt starts investigating. He enlists the help of TJ, who sleeps in the library, likes to draw and helps him find stuff on the computer. 

The same thing happened to other women. He quickly finds the man who drove the van where they took the women. This Jonas tells him he met two men and told them of how he wanted to save Leila from Reuben, her drug-dealing boyfriend. They took her, but when Jonas saw them becoming violent with her, he ran.

Now Jonas tells everything he knows before jumping off the roof to his death.

Matt warns Kenny that those two men did it before and will do it again, and tells him to warn his friends. 

If I got this right, they killed Marie, a cop, and stole her dossiers with names of drug dealers, and since Peter easily betrayed his brother and told her about him after she busted him, the two men found his name too. Peter keeps using drugs, so Matt tells him he’s done with this case.

TJ is beaten up by two bullies after he took their gun. Matt already gave him a speech on how carrying a gun will get him killed.

Left in the rain, TJ is now in a hospital, in bed sick because he’s anemic too.

Matt tells him his true story of how that day one of his bullets killed a little girl.

Now the two men take a 14 year-old girl and Kenny and Peter tell Matt so he leads all talks and they get the girl back alive.

Matt shoots one, only wounding him, but they manage to escape on their van. TJ hid himself in there, so he can tell Matt where they are.

The wounded man is killed by his accomplice. Matt and Kenny go to the house and see dead Ray.

Matt and TJ leave the decision on what to do to Kenny and go out together.

Matt though goes back in, in time to see that the guy freed himself and killed Kenny, and now tries to kill Matt. When he can, Matt shoots him dead. He goes home to find TJ there, asleep.
