Awesomeness never dies and while this doesn't quite hold up as well as I remember it's still pretty freaking awesome. One of my fave Richard Gere characters ever fosure!

(read more) 11 years before Denzel Washington went against his image in Training Day, Richard Gere did it in "Internal Affairs", which follows a rookie IAD investagator, Andy Garcia, as he tries to bring down Gere, a beat cop who's used bribes, blackmail and murder to control the department and amass a good deal of personal wealth.

As good as Garcia is the real stand out is Richard Gere playing a twisted version of his usual self. Often asscosated with chick flicks one tends to forget just how good an actor he can be as he is here, going from charming to meanacing, to manipulative and back in the space of a scene and convincing. Defeinitly one you should give a chnace.

'fist i gonna f*ck her for a while, teach her how to'...
Good story, i like it.

Great movie! Gere's best performance. Garcia first class!

[A] cliched catchall, which wastes a fine cast.
