Internal Affairs

British director Mike Figgis made his Hollywood debut with this effective thriller. A new internal affairs officer and a corrupt officer match wits to outsmart each other in a game of of cat and mouse. Figgis delivered an effortless Hollywood formula film which is all about the ride not about any substance along with all the usual cliches that comes with the genre. Richard Gere stars along with Andy Garcia in the leads. Gere went against type as the villain that proved a smart career choice that lifted the film a notch above average. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
