i find this dvd at big lot for $ 2 . with badly photoshopped image of dennis hopper and michael madsen ( obviously from a reservoir dog promo ) on the cover and i have very low expectation . but i will give this movie credit . at least the director have some idea of what he be do . unlike other crap film like cheerleader ninja and tha sistahood and this one could actually direct the camera in a way that do not make you want to blow your brain out . but when say the director wasn not do hit off of a crack pipe while work be the best compliment to give a movie and that still pretty bad . the story be basically about how corrupt the lapd be . this corruption be basically revolve around a half dozen or so cops . that pretty well contain and i must say . there also a subplot of guy rob convenience store that go nowhere . and another subplot of the main guy love affair with a cop groupie . that one may be uninspired and but the sex scene be probably the funny i have ever see in my life . the two roll around naked under cover in the most awkward position possible while the guy grind his loin and give the most painful grimace be the history of man . honestly and it just have to be see to believe . cast suck . dennis hopper be in the movie for a total of about 10 minute and and look like he in physical pain have to deliver the insultingly bad script . madsen be in there for more and seem less affected and but he no stranger to a bad script . i have sit through film with him that be much bad and so this be nothing new to him . the hot young cop who own the nickname cowboy ( because and you know and they want to be original ) look about 40. one fatboy cop and who look mid thirty and have a non touch scene with his mother of 45. the constant unexplained party at fatboy mansion have the same people who seem not to change their clothes for week on end . but the bad part of this film be the logic . cop w or bullet proof vest take shot like superman without barely a flinch . whenever there a shootout within 20 square foot and nobody considers take cover from the bullet . and why should they . train lapd officer be know for be terrible shot anyway and right . there also no sense in ballistics when detective come around . bottom line and this film may suck noodle but i have see madsen in worse ( against all hope and executive target and my bos daughter and etc ) . unless youre a big fan of his and a i be and stay away from this film .
