We all have heard and seen this story many times: dirty cops take money from gangsters. Storywise this movie has no surprises, but what makes it better than average are the great acting performances by almost every actor in it. Really decent acting. Topped with a stylish direction by Sidney Lumet this movie will certainly please most fans of these dirty cops movies. It isnt a spectacularly great cop movie though, just a really decent one....
The story: Andy Garcia is investigating dirty cops, who take bribes from drugdealers. Andy Garcia's father gets accused of being a dirty cop as well. Will Andy Garcia be righteous and harsh and investigate his own father or will he start bending the law to save his own family?
Great supporting roles by Richard Dreyfuss and James Ghandolfini. Beautiful photography of New York City. Charming jazzy soundtrack. Overall just a really stylish dirty cop movie and although it never reaches excellence, it is still very enjoyable.
