Veteran police officer Dave Brown is the last of the renegade cops in the Los Angeles Police Department, dedicated to doing "the people's dirty work" and asserting his own code of justice. When he gets caught on tape beating a suspect, he finds himself in a downward spiral as he struggles to take care of his family, and fight for his own survival. (Amazon Prime UK)

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.
