Crapsack World: A major theme in the film is how corruption is everywhere, and that even basically honest man will therefore dabble in it out of what they feel to be necessity. See the page quote above.

Bittersweet Ending: The crackdown is successful, and Daniel has a new career as an instructor for investigators. However, his part in the investigation led to the implication of many of his friends on the force—which is specifically what he fought to prevent from happening. As such, he has to live with his image being tarnished in the eyes of most of the cops from the "old days".

Film Noir: The film is essentially a cop-film-meets-legal-drama channeled through a strong Noir "mood".

Anti-Villain: There are arguably no true "villains" in the film to speak of—everyone is oddly sympathetic in some way.
