Washington changing direction with style
Brutal, hard-hitting film in which an old hand (Washington) educates a narcotics rookie (Hawke) in the 'realities' of the job.
Tensions begin to mount when it transpires that the realities are considerably more 'real' than the rookie is prepared for, and a whole lot dirtier than he was expecting.
Whenthis film came out I think it was the fist time Washington had taken a part where he wasn't Mr Nice-Guy, which was a nice twist that he carried brilliantly
Ethan Hawke, an actor I've always thought very underused, also delivers a characteristically good performance
