IMDb plot summary: A newly elected District Attorney finds himself in the middle of a police corruption investigation that may involve his father and his partner.
Directed by Sidney Lumet. Starring Andy Garcia, Richard Dreyfuss, Lena Olin, and Ian Holm.
I think I am finally coming to my end of the Sidney Lumet police corruption stories, because this one just flew in one ear and out the other. It does tackle the story with one or two unique angles, particularly the relationship between father and son, which adds an extra layer of wondering how far to take a corruption case. But the characters don't get much time to develop, so it all feels a little bland, and I found myself really struggling to remember anything about it even just moments after having finished it. As a result, I'm having a tough time even rounding up enough to say about it. It's just one of those films that makes no impression.
