This Isn't So Much About the Internal Affairs Division, It's More About the Internal Sexual Affairs of the Cops Involved in This Steamy, Sultry, Sleazy Thriller.
Richard Gere and Andy Garcia are Well Cast as the Two Bulls, Both with Testosterone Issues and the "Good Cop-Bad Cop" Characters are Fleshed Out in a Slightly Over the Top Display of the Foul Mouthed and Utterly Amoral Gere and the Affection, but Hot Latin Love of Garcia that He Displays to His Faithful Wife.
The Film Takes a Hard Look at Gere's Lech and His Unbridled Manipulation of Women and His Seductive Powers with a Nineties Disregard for Subtlety. Garcia, On the Other Hand is Being Push-Buttoned by Gere's Form of Evil and the Film Makes the Most of the Two Attractive Leads.
Overall, it's a Neo-Noir Worth Checking Out for Gere's Against Type Take on His Type of Leading Man Appeal. Garcia, Shows His Sensitive Side Well, but is Allowed Melodramatic Emoting too Often. However, the Director Manages to Make it Work Most of the Time.
The Only Thing More on Display than the Run Rampant Sexual Activity is the Amount of Female Hair that Dominates the Frame Routinely. But that Was the Reality and Not a Stylization of the Makeup Department.
