"fortress"

Relying on scattered clips, one-man dramas and the contact between the protagonist and different characters, the plot is organized, and at the same time, it also creates a three-dimensional and complex police role. . The performance is the biggest highlight, not only the unique screen charm of Woody Harrelson, but also the normal performance of a group of well-known actors regardless of the size of the role.

The main line is about a policeman's own image crisis caused by various pressures, and he took an extraordinary method to deal with it, but he couldn't get rid of it. Although it only revolves around the power of one person, it still exposes the delicate relationship between the judiciary, law enforcement, the media, and the public, and the hidden secrets that cannot be put on the table. It's just that the film actually has more to play on a deeper level, and it still seems painless on the whole.

    Old police story, too old-fashioned LAPD

    The film revolves around a villainous cop in L.A. and raises social issues about family, corruption, violence, and more. The tone is dark, dirty, and hopeless. Realistic photography captures the "antihero". ” The fragmented life of the protagonist is repulsive but somewhat sympathetic. ★★★☆

Rampart quotes

  • Dave Brown: [to Kyle Timkins] Bear in mind that I am not a racist. Fact is, I hate all people equally. And if it helps, I've slept with some of your people. You wanna be mad at someone, try J. Edgar Hoover. He was a racist. Or the Founding Fathers, all slave-owners.

  • Helen: [to Dave Brown] You're a dinosaur, Date Rape. You're a classic racist, a bigot, a sexist, a womanizer, a chauvinist, a misanthrope, homophobic clearly, or maybe you don't like yourself.
