I rented RAMPART fully expecting to get the Serpico treatment of a police scandal that’s near and dear to my heart, and boy was I wrong. This is a fantastically complicated character study, one that co-writer James Ellroy is quoted saying is the only adaptation Bustin’ heads, takin’ names. of his work he’s truly thrilled with. Legacy cop Dave Brown is a head basher in the great LAPD tradition, with a toughness and efficiency that’s at major odds with his hipster existence—living off-duty in a posh and casually polygamous arrangement with two sisters, and his daughters by them. Brown has demons on his demons: a growing sex and drug appetite, reckless intrepidity in the halls of power, and hair-trigger street violence that’s getting predictable. Therein lies the problem: Dave has reason to wonder if a bystander’s video of his handiwork, making him the most hated man in L.A., is really a frame-up to take the heat off that other Rampart scandal. Five minutes in and you know the giants by their footprints: Woody Harrelson turning in a career-topping performance, director Oren Moverman (The Messenger) capturing the brutality and beauty of the City of Angels in his frame, and Ellroy, the preeminent master of LAPD machine politics—where corruption and evil can erupt from any corner, and even a genius operator of a cop might not be able to outplay the city hall suits, street scum and uniforms arrayed against him.—Richard Gould
