That being said, there are bad movies, the kinds of movies that make you want to gouge out your eyes, plug your ears, and lock yourself in a Turkish prison for the remainder of your cold, dead life. When I see an ad for a new movie on television and it doesn't appeal to my pseudo elitist taste, I immediately shut it out completely.

Department officers that serve cases toward their own meanings of justice. Although the film was made in 1997, decades past the golden age for Hollywood and Warner Bros. Entertainment, the movie can be shown to still represent the cynical and gangster-type films that Warner Bros. is reputably known for.
