Director Abel Ferrara likes to stir and get the fan to spray it far and wide, so up he comes with this shocker about a bent, womanizing, drug-sniffing and -injecting, gambling copper - Harvey Keitel, dick showing in intimate scenes and completely stoned in others - and I watched in disbelief as that dirty copper broke every law and police rule without his partners and especially his superiors apparently having an inkling.
That made me feel like a clever voyeur, who knew more than the dumb authorities. That was about the sole feel good sensation I had about this film, after the repulsion of watching a nun get raped and Keitel wanking in front of two young girls without a drivers' license.
I certainly took no moral lesson from this flick. Keitel's cop from hell deservedly gets shot to death and I hope this cheapie flick served as cautionary tale to anyone in law enforcement thinking of doing 1/100 of what Keitel does.
