Rampart

Woody Harrelson a corrupt cop? Surely you jest! This thing has far more aspects to his character than mere corruption. He bullies, smokes, argues, drinks, drugs, dances, pukes, and shoots. In addition, he screws LOTS of women...in more ways than one, and not one of those women owns a comb.

• Woody Harrelson ("No Country for Old Men") is convinced that all of his actions are logical and righteous.
• Ben Foster ("3:30 to Yuma," 2007) is a wheelchair-bound pan- handler. BTW Foster is a producer on this one.
• Anne Heche ("Cedar Rapids") is one of the female satellites that orbit around our cop.
• Cynthia Nixon ("Sex and the City") is another mother of another one of his children. His appeal eludes me.
• Robin Wright ("The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," 2011) is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen...in THAT bar!
• Sigourney Weaver ("Avatar") is an official trying to clear the Rampart Division of the LAPD of its hard-earned bad reputation.
• Ice Cube ("Are We There Yet?") is determined to re-open the Crystal Market case and see justice done. He makes a critically wise move!

The stylized sound and photography consist of super-close close-ups of eyes, whispered plots, flashing neon lights, thumping beats in sex clubs, glimpses of venal people debasing themselves, and far too many shots of Harrelson in various states of undress as he drinks, drugs, smokes and pukes. Can you imagine what his breath must be like?

It is the subject matter that repels me. How many times do we have to visit dark, dank dives? Maybe the production values are good... But did I LIKE it? I'll give you three guesses...and the first two don't count!
