When the line between the cops and the drug dealing gangs blurs,
two cops have a fatal encounter with their results of their misdeeds.

civilians. They both get caught up in a dirty deal...
Rating: - RIDIN' DIRTY
First of all, CHRIS FISHER's DIRTY is influenced by FUQUA's TRAINING DAY and that's a given fact. The whole mood is similar, and so are the shaking camera, the abuse of jump cuts and the modern Gangsta aspect.

None the less it would be unfair to see DIRTY as a TRAINING's rip-off. You see, TRAINING is ... Read More
Rating: - The corruption will overthrow the screen!
This talented and young director has made a well rounded and systematic movie around the huge labyrinths nestled underneath. Only the strong will survive and will remain undamaged in this jungle of white neck sinister game.
Two cops are the fundamental axis, the basis of a pyramid carefully built and rigorously articulated. A nasty officer who works out the embodiment of the perversion has a plan, and these cops will be from now his arms to follow the instructions. As you may guess all ... Read More

Yes, we are all aware of the Rampart scandal that perhaps is the nidus for this story, but what DIRTY shows is a group of despicable, foul mouthed, evil, crime perpetrating opportunists who will do anything to ...

Rating: - Cuba dissapoints his fans
As the previous review stated, Cuba attempts to compete with "Training Day" and fails horribly. The plot is lacking, there is poor character development and excessive profanity. I would have given this movie less stars if it were possible. Save your money.
