    Gritty, Atmospheric Look at A Good-Turned-Bad Cop

    Though it has a low-budget look and feel to it, this film works well with Michael Moriarty as a well-respected, but crooked cop who murders a purse snatcher in cold blood, unaware that a black college student documented the whole thing on film. He then takes advantage of the situation and films more of the cop's illicit activities. The supporting cast is also excellent as well: Paul Sorvino as a disgruntled lawyer, Earl Hindman as Moriarty's laid-back detective pal Garrity and Anthony Charnota as pool hustler Sal. It's too bad this film has fallen into obscurity, though.

    Meet the new boss , same as the old boss

    This one is a real sleeper, a great performances by Michael Moriarty. That fact alone is the main reason I stuck this otherwise confusing and plot hole riddled story . Despite the flaws the movie pulls no punches. White people using the the N word with hard Rs is sprinkled thru out, resulting it making this movie so gritty you will have to pour the sand out of shoes . I also saw that not much has changed regarding minorities and the reality that police on occasion getting away with murder. I believe that the problem is worse now than 47 years ago . The more things change the more they stay the same .
