“I happened to stumble on this one night. What a mesmerizing movie! Gary Oldman is terrific as a corrupt Detective. You get the feeling from this guy that he was probably once a young, idealistic, honest cop, who has just been slowly manipulated, and seduced by the seaminess, the money, the sex, the despair.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHow this guy could stray from Annabella Sciorra is beyond me, but thatu0026#39;s another story.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhat you see is this guyu0026#39;s whole life crumble down around him, due to his poor choices, his dishonesty, and his inability to control his cravings. Just about everything that could go wrong does, and his entire life, everything he thought he was working for, virtually blows up in his face.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTo finally see, and realize all heu0026#39;s lost is played out very well by Oldman. A very well-done, well-acted film.”
