It's a probing dissection of masculinity. Jared's homosexuality has walled him out from conventional masculinity, and the wound is further salted by his buddy-cop pairing with a man-to-woman transsexual, who represents the sum of Jared's own fears.
There is an idea in Western society, which is rarely discussed but omnipresent, which is that as a man you can redefine your image through violence. This horrifying concept has been the driving force behind many crimes otherwise dismissed as unpredictable, most notably school shootings. Here, the concept is explored through Jared's fixation with vengeance. In death, his partner offers him a road to masculinity that he could never offer in life.

I honestly want to know why you keep posting this.
I'm more embarrased at the fact this story was done a million times over before. The gay/tranny thing is just a side detail.

This just looks lazy.
Another series in the line of "I can rehash the exact same story but replace heteros with homos, men with women and whites with blacks".
Managed to take a decent story and make it sound autistic and retarded too.
