He insists on "keeping the family together" with the same irrational devotion he applies to his job.

Harrelson is an ideal actor for the role. Especially in tensely wound-up movies like this, he implies that he's looking at everything and then watching himself looking.

Something to see and little to remember, an acrid character study undone by narrative implausibilities and its own lack of purpose.

"Rampart" patrols some familiar streets, but this jarringly intimate study of a dirty Los Angeles cop sliding, crazily, down the drain has a distinctive new-cliche smell, pungent and alive.

Director Oren Moverman understands that Woody Harrelson is a real actor and makes movies to prove it.

This isn't your average out-of-control character, and Harrelson has to work against a narrowly defined screenplay that is short on specifics.

Brown is a sick man, but Harrelson makes him so interesting, so charismatic, so ... watchable, that you can't look away, even if his actions make you want to (and they will).

"Rampart" doesn't tell a coherent story as much as swirl the drain with Dave, as his increasingly desperate efforts to save himself simply result in a cascade of self-inflicted wounds.

Where's it all go? Nowhere, really, just down a dirty, disappointing hole. Harrelson deserved better.

This movie feels too undecided. The movie is so intent on not being "Training Day" that it just isn't "Training Day" enough.

Writer/director Oren Moverman's new movie "Rampart" is a compelling character study complemented by a powerhouse performance by star Woody Harrelson.Moverman introduces a refreshing nuance to the corrupt cop persona with which Harrelson has the opportunity to reflect emotions ranging from top-of-the-world superiority to rock-bottom depression....
