1999? seemed like it was 80's...it's more or less interesting, but a little dragged out, gets kinda boring and you have the feeling "get to the point already". Chris Penn is pretty crazy here and fun.

(read more) Corrupt Cop Bill Holt (Chris Penn) arrives at a construction site and proceeds to bury Sean Rickhart (Anthony DeSando) in wet cement, will his partner the paranoid coke addictied Nin (Jeffrey Wright) watches helplessly. Flashing between present and past the movie shows how Nin's loyalty to Holt, the cops partnership with Seans brother, gang leader Truman (Henry Czerny), and Holt's unfaithful wife (Sherilyn Finn) come together to form a lethal combination. Good low budget thriller, that has Chriss Penn acting pyschotic half the time, well Wright does a good job as the conflicted Nin. Other then that the performances are descent but noting to write home about. Fans of the crime genre are encouraged to seeks this out.

People slept on this movie but it was better than alot of blockbuster crime movies I seen.

Though actor-turned-director Adrian Pasdar's grim expose treats cops and robbers as two sides of the same corrupt coin, nothing in the film is as memorable or biting as cable-TV police dramas.
