Highly regarded look at police corruption. I respect it more than I admire it. It's obviously smart but it's long - scenes felt repetitive. I didn't get to know many of the characters. The domestic scenes weren't that interesting. A lot of New Yawk acting. Heaps of typos in the draft of the script I read.
The basic material is fascinating - a little-bit corrupt cop has a crisis of confidence and tries to help IA. He vows to not give up his partners but that's easier said than done. He has a cousin in the mob. The officials who help him are ambitious and flawed like his corrupt fellow cops.
There's some suspense where you think the main guy might die but the best stuff comes at the end, when one cop kills himself and other, Levy, tells the main guy to f*ck off.
