Best Cop Movie of All Time

Rating: 9/10 (9 November 2009)

Horrible timing (thanks to the big stupid ship sinking movie) forced this excellent title to remain relatively unknown for a long time, although it did win some Oscars. This should have taken home Best Movie, and Best Supporting actor. Outstanding cast, great story, and a plot twist I will rank up there in the top 3 best twists ever. Everyone does a good job in this movie, even Babe's faithful owner James Cromwell (that'll do pig, that'll do)...
Telling the story of how gangsters are being killed while drugs and organized crime run the streets of 50's LA, a new nerdy cop with a wee bit of an ego tries to make a name for himself. This happens while a "Never hit a woman" Attitude cop played perfectly by Russell Crowe tries to find out how a woman died, Danny Devito runs an underground magazine called Hush,Hush, Kevin Spacey lights up the screen as a poster-boy cop, and several other characters do lotsa other awesome things....eventually these separate stories converge and by the time the movie is over you are left thinking "why didn't i see this sooner!!??"....Better than the suuuuper over-hyped Training Day, or any other recent cop movie other than The Departed (LA Confidential is better btw), you'd be missing out if you don't watch this at least once.
