Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Brilliant Film
James Woods and James B Harris made a brilliant film out of James Ellroy's

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Some tight action scenes, but silly overall
Some good action scenes: the fight with Charles Haid, the final showdown, etc., but on the whole not at all credible.

Granted, in any cop movie, a certain amount of liberties have to be taken with reality. But this was too much. To list just one example, early in the film, Woods guns a guy down and then instead of hanging around to answer questions from the department about the shoot, promptly leaves with the prostitute who's also a witness to the shooting. That by itself would have merited ... Read More
