CGiii Comment
Gere plays a villain. It's a good cop, bad cop mind game.
And, Figgis does it well - keeping the twists and turns coming.
Gere is actually believable beyond his comfort zone.
The lesbian subplot is down-played, some would say the resolution is an anti-climax.
No matter - it is an intelligent character study - done well.

The(ir) Blurb...
Keen young Raymond Avila joins the Internal Affairs Department of the Los Angeles police. He and partner Amy Wallace are soon looking closely at the activities of cop Dennis Peck whose financial holdings start to suggest something shady. Indeed Peck is involved in any number of dubious or downright criminal activities. He is also devious, a womaniser, and a clever manipulator, and he starts to turn his attention on Avila.
