He plays a corrupt cop in the 1950's with a few others, including Crowe in a exceptional role and James Cromwell as another guy. Guy Pearce is also very good as the cop who tries to act good in all the slime, but It is difficult. Quite a compelling film indeed. One of the best films of 1997 also. Oscar winner for best adapted screenplay (Hanson and Brian Hegeland). A
