Some white New York policemen and their families, with help from the Mob, set up a cozy community that’s crime free, except for their own illegal wheeling and dealing. A crisis develops when they try to cover up a killing.
Sylvester Stallone has a fresh role as the nice sheriff who is partially deaf and supposed not to hear or see what’s going on. The strong cast of entangled characters includes Robert De Niro, as a frustrated Internal Affairs investigator; Harvey Keitel, as the ruthless leader of the crooked cops; and Ray Liotta, as a disillusioned undercover man. Cathy Moriarty and Annabella Sciorra are gritty as involved spouses.
Writer-director James Mangold apparently wants to remake High Noon with Stallone (in his honest but not-smart Rocky persona) as the sheriff who decides to take on the villains, even if he has to do it alone.
Unfortunately, the kids who might appreciate the upbeat moral message most won’t be in the audience. All these cops talk and carouse like mobsters.
