Vain attempt to copy "Chinatown"
10 January 2000
There're rumors flying around that guys like this film... well, I for one am a guy, and this I "do not" like! The plot cruises at 2 mph for most of he film, many of the characters are sooo wooden you could chop them in two--note: with the exceptions of Kevin Spacey, Danny DeVito, and the rookie who could pass for 15 (that's not a complement by the way). Plus the film exploits minorities as the typical one dimensional mindless thugs as there're portrayed in most cop flicks; but what could you expect from 1950's LA, or Hollywood for that matter?
