RAMPART

Cinemavixion Review

Oren Moverman's 'Rampart' plunges viewers into the morally ambiguous world of LAPD's scandal-plagued Rampart Division, anchored by a ferocious performance from Woody Harrelson. As Dave Brown, a detective whose brutal methods blur the lines of justice, Harrelson delivers a performance of raw, unrepentant energy. The film masterfully navigates Brown's unraveling life, a descent fueled by his own uncompromising brutality and a personal life as chaotic as his professional one. Supported by a strong cast including Ben Foster, Brie Larson, and Sigourney Weaver, 'Rampart' is a gritty, unflinching examination of corruption and the corrosive nature of power. Its critical reception, including a commendable 74% on Rotten Tomatoes, speaks to its compelling, albeit dark, portrayal of a man pushed to the brink.
