- Aged-worst begins with nostalgic portrayals of fun police drinking, challenged as clinically alcoholic behavior.
- Alternative after-work drinking ensembles include podcasters, emergency-room doctors and NBA assistant coaches.
- Aged-worst choices include burning the real painting, Friedkin’s agent leaving him and deletion of Vukovich’s reconciliation scene, which might have added depth.
- The bridge’s later association with Tony Scott’s death is an aged-worst observation; the alternate Alaska ending with a surviving Chance is strongly disliked.
