Internal Affairs
Trust him...he's a cop.
Dennis Peck knows his way around the law. He can launder money, run a scam, fix a bad rap. He can even, for the right price, arrange a murder. "Trust me," he says, "I'm a cop."
Richard Gere is Peck and Andy Garcia is Raymond Avila, the investigator determined to bring Peck to justice in this supercharged police thriller. Peck isn't going down without a fight. The slick, cold-blooded manipulator intends to take Avila's career, his marriage, even his sanity with him in INTERNAL AFFAIRS.

An Intense Cop Drama - Benson
I really enjoyed this movie, mainly due to the great performances. Richard Gere plays the ultimate badass and alpha male cop on the streets. Woman love him and men respect his gangsta. Andy Garcia plays the internal affairs agent who is trying to take Gere down. Garcia is the type of guy who likes to play it cool. He loses his cool though after things get personal. Great movieDon't waste your time - CherylCash
Very slow paced and dull for a suspense thriller. The characters are all unlikable and uninteresting. The supposed hero, played by Garcia, does not behave like a hero and this may actually have made the film interesting had they played this up a little bit more in the script (or perhaps the problem was simply that Garcia was limited in this regard - one wonders what somewhat like Ben Kinsley would have done with the role). Alto Gere does a decent job of playing the corrupt officer, we've all seen this character before and nothing new is presented. The motivations are the characters are not believable, particularly that of Garcia's wife -- why is she with that guy? Moreover, someone who seems to be as smart and capable as the Gere character seems to do some really stupid things - after all of these years, a sudden and unexpected loss of control is not plausible, particularly since this character is all about control. The ending was fairly anticlimatic.White-knuckle suspense-thriller! - Willy1
This movie is one of the most tightly packed white-knuckle nail-biting suspense-thriller I have ever seen. The script and the background music are excellent. Richard Gere is in his top form as the cool-headed negative-lead in this movie. Andy Garcia always surprises me being such a little man in size but having such a heavy screen-personality (not to mention his penetrating eyes). Think of the difference between his roles in "Ocean's Eleven" and "The Untouchables". I personally admire Nancy Travis not only for her being a stunningly beautiful smart woman (she has the loveliest hair too) but also for her natural gift of acting ability, her throw of words, expression on her face, her movements, the way she carries herself ("Three Men and a Baby", "Three Men and a Little Lady", "Running Mates"). I don't know why she has never been the "most-demanded" actress in Hollywood! Laurie Metcalf was a perfect selection as Amy Wallace in this movie. The movie winds up to become a sharp quadruple in the end with these four people
