This is a particularly uninteresting and dull cop film.
Police corruption, the LA riots, Rodney King atmosphere, Kurt Russell, Ving Rhames.
It had all the ingredients of actually being a good action film/thriller.
However, an uninspiring and predictable script, average performances from all [Russell particularly] and some dull scenes with the backdrop of the riots made this a bit of a waste of time all round.
I wouldn't bother if I was you.
