Based on true events, this film shows the rise of a drug dealer and the struggle of a policeman to arrest him.
The main reason for telling in dramatic detail the two converging stories of a cop and a criminal has to be to compare their symmetrical lives. The key line of the movie is perhaps the one said by his ex-wife (quoted from memory): "You are honest in your profession so that you can be excused from honesty in your personal life." (sorry for the inevitable imprecision). Whilst the gangster, being his opposite, is an exemplary family man and cruel and ruthless in his business. This is interesting, even though not exactly new after hundreds of films dealing with that theme in a more or less tangential manner.
