'Woody Harrelson is the most corrupt cop ever seen on screen' is a pretty bold claim for a trailer for open with, especially as Rampart is meant to be based on a true story. In the film it's late-1990s LA and Officer Dave Brown (Harrelson) is a Vietnam vet, Rampart Precinct cop, dedicated to doing "the people's dirty work" and asserting his own code of justice, often blurring the lines between right and wrong to maintain his action-hero state of mind. When he gets caught on tape beating a suspect, he finds himself in a personal and emotional downward spiral as the consequences of his past sins and his refusal to change his ways in light of a department-wide corruption scandal seal his fate. The movie has a superb cast and looks like it could be pretty good. It'll be out early next year, when it'll be having a bit of an awards run.
