Rampart 2011

     Dave Brown works for the Los Angeles police force and he’s a corrupt cop.  He is the focus of an internal investigation after he’s caught on tape beating a suspect.  He’s out of control but he begins to spiral down more and more.  He lives with his wife and his ex-wife,  they are sisters.  He has two daughters too.  He’s into stealing, drugs and other women. 

     I initially didn’t want to watch this because it is what it is.  What you see is what you get, nothing new, nothing that hasn’t been seen over and over.  Dave doesn’t have a “good” side.  2* (I didn’t like this movie)
