    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 go...( read more)od. 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.

    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 ...( read more)unbelievable.

    Not a bad film, but as I recall, it was just a so so film.

    One action packed movie

    Richard Gere makes for a good bad guy against Andy Garcia's internal affairs character. Going after Garcia's wife and threatening their marriage adds to the plot.

    What the hell is Andy Garcia staring at?
