Internal Affairs
Dir: Mike Figgis
1990
****
Warning: This film contains some of the cheesiest 80's (Okay, Okay, early 90's) scenes of all time. The film oozes 80's style/acting/nonsense. It's dated badly but only depending on how nostalgic you are for that era, personally this was like taking a trip on a time machine. I watched it late at night with the lights off, with the street lamp shining through the gaps in the Venetian blinds. If my wife would have let me smoke in the house I would have sat there in a whirlwind of dancing cigarette smoke, taking the occasional sip of cheap whiskey (from the bottle). Ahhh what great days. They don't make films like this anymore, probably for the best but you can't beat a moody Andy Garcia, an evil Richard Gere, a lesbian Laurie Metcalf and a... well, Nancy Travis in general. Electric drum solo please.....
