Plot: Drama surrounding a police corruption investigation.
Ahhh, the infamous Internal Affairs. The 1990's, with bad hair, fashion and shameless sex.
XD!!
Well, it is a classic in my opinion. Two of the coolest actors in my opinion of their time, Gere and Garcia, play off against each other in this cop drama which is actually pretty good. Gere as the dirtiest cop around is actually one of his best roles he's ever played, he is one of my favorite male leads.
Of course, back in the 1990's, thrillers were all mixed up with the above mentioned negatives, along with dodgy synthesized music and production wasn't really 100%. I guess you just have to see it for the performances and the psychological war between the two leads, it may just be worth it. Dont expect a twisty edge of your seat climax like The Departed, its a straight up story between good cop and bad cop, and a "noir" ending which leaves you wondering what happened after.
Not for everyone really.
The whole time I was watching this movie, all I could think of was how much better it would be if Jack Nicholson was playing the Richard Gere role.
Mr. Gere playing a sort of bad guy. Neat. This movie's not that old, but for some reason, it seems so. Maybe because of the color of Mr. Gere's hair, eh?
Somehow, this movie was appealing to me, though I don't know why.
Maybe it's because Garcia's in his thirtees, and with Gere not looking half bad either, it sort of made the film a lot more satisfying. Yet I can never imagine Andy Garcia being anything other than Italian after I'd seen him in The Godfather, it just didn't feel right. Although his name is Garcia...
Still, I couldn't help feeling drawn to the film and touched by the performances as well.
So over all, this actually turned out to be a good cop thriller.
Good suspense thriller. Shows Gere in a bad guy roll which is disturbing for fans who only look at the fantasy of Richard. It shows his wonderful ablitiy to lead in any roll. Just watch him!
This film is so brutal, sexually charged thriller. The unrelenting tension mounts as the pursuit of justice becomes a very personal vendetta.
very gross but the story is interesting and the characters are well portrayed. A must see (skip the gross bits. It is so gross that you wouldn't believe it!)
Man Richard Gere is just dull, he should be made of Gear instead, at least then you could break bits of him off and smoke him
This cop thriller revolving around corrupt officer Richard Gere was lauded over at the time, but Gere is badly miscast at the borderline psychotic peeler and basically sleepwalks through the movie. Garcia is better, but the whole thing reeks of contrived melodrama and is frankly unbelievable.
Richard Gere is the embodiment of evil. A better devil than Al Pacino played in The Devil's Advocate. Why is it that Andy Garcia seems at his best when his character is getting played like a fiddle (see also: The Untouchables, Ocean's Eleven, Darkness Falls on Manhattan)?
Probably my #10 movie of all time... Interesting and intriguing. Keeps your attention and delivers.
One of my least favorite Gere movies, of course he's the villian and I for one, would rather not see that....he has my heart, and I can't find it to hate him, so I avoid this movie.
