- CuriosidadesThis movie is loosely based on the real-life case of Larry Davis, a drug dealer who shot six cops, but was acquitted (with William Kunstler as his lawyer) after charging that the police were trying to kill him because they were involved in the drug trade. The Manhattan District Attorney, Robert Morgenthau, was also nicknamed "Morgy".
- PifiasJudge Impelliteri's sentences are indeterminate sentences. Adding "no parole" to an indeterminate sentence makes no sense. He sentenced Washington to 3 terms of "25 years to life, with no parole." A sentence of 25 years to life is a life sentence in which you become eligible for parole after serving 25 years. He also gave Washington 2 terms of "15 to 25 years each, with no parole." This is an indeterminate sentence of 25 years where you become eligible for parole after serving 15 years.

Sean Casey: The two rat-fucks? Rat-fucks! You took money from Harlem's biggest dealer. You committed perjury at his trial. You engaged in a conspiracy to kill him when he wouldn't cough up more dough, and now you're offering to turn in seven other cops in order to save yourself, and you have the nerve to call them rat-fucks? You were a cop, Joe, and now you're garbage! You're nothing!
The film evokes complex life stories, characters who are not perfect, but still try to do something good.
Andy Garcia plays Sean Casey, a prosecutor who tries to put a dangerous criminal in jail who may be involved in a much bigger scandal.
The story is perfectly balanced, and the film itself does not choose the political side, but presents us with a complex world full of difficult choices.
Films like this are rare, precisely because they don't choose sides, and therefore are interesting and deal with universal things that interest everyone.
A film like this does not alienate the viewer, but draws him into an interesting world and tries to portray the struggle for the principles that make us who we are.
The cast is good, the actors made an effort to bring these interesting characters to life and show their emotions. The film is well directed and the cinematography is excellent.
An interesting film with complex characters and an excellent cast.
