Let’s see. From an Oscar winning crime film or thriller released between 2000 and 2010, set in the-then present day, but probably with a prologue or extended flashback. Off the top of my head there’s _Training Day_ and _The Departed_, although it could have won only technical awards. Haven’t see either of them. I pass. ---
