"Fighting Olympus" certainly understands the importance and power of relationships necessary for a buddy cop movie and the two leads - Leslie Jones and Devinair Mathis - readily put that on display. You sense a real chemistry between the two and they never felt forced.

From the opening shots over Echo Park to the sweeping aerials of inner-city Los Angeles, the director understands the mood and feel of the city.

I love a good Los Angeles cop movie and "Fighting Olympus" offers something unique by plugging a little Greek mythology into the mix as our heroes plunge into the depths of a violent criminal underworld.
