Directed by: James Mangold
Cast: Sylvester Stallone, Harvey Keitel, Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro
Running Time: 109 minutes
Freddy Heflin is a
washed up law enforcer who never got accepted as a true cop because of a bad
ear, so he became sheriff of Garrison, New Jersey. At first he refuses to see
that his city is overrun with corrupt NYPD cops, led by Lt. Ray Donian, but
events force Freddy to consider taking action.
This film greatly benefited from a loaded cast of actors offering solid performances. Stallone was particularly noteworthy, in a role that was quite different for him. The problem here is the story. It was interesting, but it lacked focus and went into too many directions at once. It should have been tightened up a bit.
