This is a strong movie with powerful performances by the entire cast,especially that of Ethan Hawkes whose portrayal of the corrupt policeofficer warrants special recognition. Richard Gere's performance insome ways is reminiscent of Paul Newman's performance in Fort Apache,the Bronx, that is, of an older jaded police officer who has lost allhope yet perseveres. The movie relies on perpetuating all kinds ofstereotypes to move the story and suggests a level of corruption thatif plausible would render our society inoperable. Yet the story works,mainly due to the great acting and the fast paced action which managesto keep the audience's attention. One is kept wondering how the varioussubplots will work themselves out and who will survive the maelstromthat engulfs all concerned. Don Cheadle also gives a credibleperformance as an undercover police officer and Wesley Snipes gives asurprisingly measured and multifaceted performance as a streetgangster. All in all, as powerful movie.
