An Undercover Cop Meets Two Korean Gangsters
Haunted by the memory of his dead wife [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Tom Ludlow (Keanu Reeves), may work for the LAPD but the department he works for operates by a different code of conduct. Ludlow's department, run by captain Jack Wander (Forest Whitaker) is in the habit of bending and breaking the law in order to fight crime in what they perceive to be a more efficient manner. But in doing so, Ludlow and his cohorts continually find themselves looking over their shoulders to cover their backs in order to intimidate or knock-off their enemies.
It may not be Denmark but something is rotten. In this case [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's Los Angeles and their police corruption. Although police corruption and the abuse of power may be a reoccurring theme for a good action flick, repeating it may never be enough so long as it opens the minds of the naive and infects the rotten conscience of the guilty.
A Dirty Cop in a Corrupt Cop Culture
Ludlow is frankly a dirty cop in a corrupt detective unit who eventually comes to a crisis of conscience when he can no longer keep up with the web of intrigue and threats for justice that surround him. Keanu Reeves is up to the task of portraying this role so as not to interfere with or diminish the impact the directing and writing has on this film.
MPAA Rating: R3/5

It May Not be Denmark but Something is Rotten
The movie opens with Ludlow working as an undercover cop as he meets with two Korean gangsters who intend to buy a machine gun from him. Ludlow immediately starts the dialogue with racial slurs apparently to encourage the Koreans to beat him up and steal his car so that he might track them back to their hideout and give them a taste of the vigilante justice his department has become accustomed to; and to save two young female hostages from the Koreans hideout for the newspapers to report as a successful mission no matter the manner in which the gangsters were killed in the process.
This film is based on the writing of James Elroy, LA Confidential and The Black Dahlia [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and is directed by David Ayer who also directed Harsh Times and wrote Training Day. With these two collaborating, viewers may expect another authentic representation and delivery of a movie about the corrupt cop culture and the influence it can have upon the law-abiding and the lawless alike.
