good cop story

Rating: 9/10 (17 June 2000)

This was a good story where cops dont always go by the book but are the lords of the street. its actually three stories in one, ed exley (guy pearce) is the by the book officer who rats out to get on top. Bud White (Russel Crowe) is the muscle man police officer, lady in distress saving cop, and jack vincennes (kevin spacey) does the whole publicity inside tip cop business.
Its based around several other cops and a Night Owl Restaurant Robbery/Murder, and the dirty business that goes along with being a detective. This is a winding story that is hard to follow but after the second time that i saw this movie i caught on real quickly. i suggest this to those who love a good cop mystery, i really liked this.
