A thrilling hard-boiled take on the urban drug trade, and an idealistic officer's plunge into the murky depths thereof. Fishburne is fantastic here, and he really shows the weathering effects of the case on his character. Loved his weary narration, and he plays well off of Jeff Goldblum, who goes somewhat against type here.
Can't go wrong with this movie; it's raw, bitter and doesn't fail to upset. I walked into this expecting something like "Ricochet" or "New Jack City", but the noir flavor gives this movie a serious edge.
