Fan Casting Jack Cates in The Safdie Brothers' 48 Hrs.

A San Francisco PD inspector running on fumes, whiskey, and a code of honor that's killing him. Cates is a wounded bull—all coiled rage and bone-deep exhaustion—whose .44 Magnum was stolen by a psychopath and used to murder two fellow cops. A man whose only tool is a hammer, treating every problem like a nail, chain-smoking through the guilt while handcuffed to a convict he despises. His journey is not redemption but revelation: a slow, violent awakening to the rot inside the institution he's bled for.
