Anyone impressed by Richard Gere's turn as an amoral lawyer in "Chicago" clearly didn't see him play a suave, sociopathic beat cop getting down and very dirty with the hot-tempered Andy Garcia. He's so good at making this vile charmer come to life it's kind of terrifying.
A brutal procedural that is both deeply weird and really sketchy with its seuxal politics, yet somehow fascinating in its approach. Every cop aside from Laurie Metcalf is a mentally-unbalanced screw-up. The department attempting to police itself just reveals how insular and self-righteous it is. In the end it's less about truth and justice so much as bruised male egos kicking each other. Worth seeing for how good Gere is at being bad, if nothing else.
