Los Angeles, 1999. Vietnam vet and Rampart Precinct cop Dave Brown is the last of the renegade law enforcers, working to take care of his family and struggling for his own survival. Brown is dedicated to doing “the people's dirty work” and asserting his own unique brand of justice. But when he gets caught on tape beating a suspect, he finds himself caught in a downward spiral that threatens to engulf everything he holds dear, drawing the morally bankrupt Brown into a department-wide corruption scandal which looks likely to seal his fate.

Definitely an unconventional picture with a depressing aftertaste and excellent one-liners. Moreover, Harrelson portrays the main character so convincingly that he should at least get an Oscar nomination. Unfortunately, it’s a little boring, without a moral lesson (which is fine) and without a catharsis at the end (which is isn’t so fine). Rampart simply ends and that’s that. But that doesn’t mean that it isn’t perfectly written and the actors are excellent. Too little action, no suspense. P.S.: Before ending up with Atlanta P.D., Shane (Jon Bernthal) from the Walking Dead trained dogs in L.A. ;) Bear in mind that I’m not a racist. Fact is, I hate all people equally.
