Hier Poster und Trailer zu Rampart, James Ellroys L.A.-Variante von Bad Lieutenant mit Woody Harrelson, Ben Foster, Ice Cube, Sigourney Weaver und Steve Buscemi, der auf dem sogenannten Rampart-Scandal in den 70ern basiert. Sieht mir nach einem ziemlichen Must Watch aus. Oben das Poster, hier der Trailer und der Plot:
(Youtube Direktramp, via /Film)
Los Angeles, 1999. Officer Dave Brown (two-time Academy Award(R) nominee Woody Harrelson) is a Vietnam vet and a Rampart Precinct cop, dedicated to doing “the people’s dirty work” and asserting his own code of justice, often blurring the lines between right and wrong to maintain his action-hero state of mind. When he gets caught on tape beating a suspect, he finds himself in a personal and emotional downward spiral as the consequences of his past sins and his refusal to change his ways in light of a department-wide corruption scandal seal his fate. Brown internalizes his fear, anguish and paranoia as his world, complete with two ex-wives who are sisters, two daughters, an aging mentor dispensing bad advice, investigators galore, and a series of seemingly random women, starts making less and less sense. In the end, what is left is a human being stripped of all his pretense, machismo, chauvinism, arrogance, sexism, homophobia, racism, aggression, misanthropy; but is it enough to redeem him as a man?
