Internal Affairs (1990)
Country: US
Technical: col 115m
Director: Mike Figgis
Cast: Andy Garcia, Richard Gere, Nancy Travis, Laurie Metcalf
Synopsis:
An officer and his female partner in the Internal Affairs department trace police felonies to an established womaniser on the force.
Review:
Cat and mouse games with the roles often reversed and Iago-like sexual manipulation the name of the game. Tense, dark, well written and acted, with a stone-faced Garcia and an affecting co-star in Metcalf. It is, however, Gere's film, Dennis Peck one of the roles of his career and providing undoubted evidence along with Pretty Woman that Richard was very much himself again. Probably the director's best film, too, though it has dated by now in its use of slow motion, and the climax never did make much sense.
