A newly elected District Attorney finds himself in the middle of a police corruption investigation that may involve his father and his partner.
This movie is guilty of being very good.
FUN FACT: The flag with the green and white stripes, seen in the room where the first interrogations take place, is the official flag of the N.Y.P.D. The N.Y.P.D. flag flies outside Precincts and other Police Department buildings, and was first created in 1919. It bears five alternating green and white bars, representing the five boroughs of New York City; Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx. There are twenty-four white stars on a field of blue in the left corner of the flag. The blue field represents the Police Department. Twenty-three of the stars represent the separate towns and villages that became part of New York City under the Consolidation that took place in 1899, while the twenty-fourth star represents the City itself.
