But then the third act has to have the standard "city-wide threat" that I guess they all have to have, even though it doesn't even fit the villain's established motives this time. And even though it has a city-destroying threat, the third act just drags and feels a lot longer than when it was a detective movie. The movie hits this point where it feels like it was supposed to end, and then it just… keeps going. I liked it overall, but really think they fumbled the last part.

I agree with all of this. Why do we need a city wide threat? Why can't the conclusion of the case be the finale? It's a Hollywood thing. Need to spend an oversized chunk of the budget on extra CGI and big set pieces cause that's what the masses show up for.
