SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

nikola17 i enjoy this film i bought this movie from shop it was Awesome but i wish it did it better like Training Day, End of Watch there is no great camera shots' but with (Cuba Gooding Jr) Salim Ade but i thought Cuba Gooding's character is more comfortable being dirty than his latino partner (Clifton Collins Jr), who has visions that are representative of his guilt. Cuba Gooding Jr as actor i liked his movies a lot of them he made. i enjoy Clifton Collins Jr well on his way to blowing in the entire department to Internal Affairs out of some misguided sense of guilt he's first family is gangster become a cop A really strong performance from Clifton Collins Jr, combined with an excellent bad cop come good cop story. Salim is an idiot and makes a number of dense-headed decisions in this movie that lead to a world of sh#4t apart of being cop i think the Action Scenes were Awesome but what that should been longer action scenes like Training Day noting is new in this movie just didn't make it not in top film like Training Day 2 cops were kinda breaking the law but Salim is breaking the law more at end he feels sorry cry's like girl he should be as character, becomes more of idiot. i like the idea that they try to make it like Training Day Cuba is trying to act so hard to be like Denzel Washington character i can tell the bad things on his character what he does that's why the director and producer maybe wanted to make his character like that like Cuba's character mutters constant swear words like Denzel Character in Training day the colors of movie was a bit like Training Day but the colors was more bit weird as i thought it wasn't same but there is action scenes were good i thought it was good that there is some another actors were OK i guess Movie like Cole Hauser is OK didn't do much for this movie but you got 2 actors from Pitch Black. Movie was a little slow moving. You also get the feeling the movie tried too hard to push the idea of corruption to the point where you question the likelihood of something happening. this still has people who are looking for real ideas on movie but not he best as Training Day this movie 10.10 i think it was very good but should of done it better

sheepmonk2000 Dirty is disgustingly bad. It took me 5 minutes to arrive at that verdict and then I switched the film off and threw it in the trash. Me buying the film was a leap of faith as it was as I had read the negative reviews but was so enticed by the premise that I had to give it a look - but boy was that a mistake. So, some may think it unfair of me to write a poor review for this film after only watching less than 5 minutes of it, but hey those reading can make their own mind up on the legitimacy of my opinion. Anyway, the film - it's bad oh so bad. It starts off with a very stereotypical character performing a very corny voice-over containing some awful dialogue. The film then flashes to a murder, which is directed dreadfully, as the camera is all over the place and motive of the murder is ridiculous, as basically there isn't one, only now apparently the murderers partner feels real bad about it...I mean come on, how far fetched can you get. So to conclude avoid this movie at all costs, and if you do want to watch a GOOD movie about police corruption, then check out either 'Training Day', Brooklyns Finest' or even 'Street Kings' as these are all top notch. Chow.

SanFernandoCurt The Ramparts Scandal of the 1990s entailed L.A. gang members infiltrating the police department, violently shaking down fellow gang-bangers, then, in perjured testimony after their stupidity busted wide open the whole mess, ruined the careers of honest cops in L.A.P.D.'s gang units. As final salt in the wound, taxpayers were soaked for millions in court settlements to the put-upon homies that got rough treatment from these hoods in blue.The real villains of the piece were not-well-thought-through outreach projects to recruit more inner-city youth into the city's police force. This was yet another brainstorm of liberal social engineers far removed from the detritus wrought by their brilliance.This movie, inspired by Ramparts, takes those facts and corkscrews them 180 degrees. The gangstas are the cops. All cops. The real villain is the SYSTEM, maaaaaaan.This tired, hackneyed tripe represents the warped mindset of Hollywood's establishment today. It's a weak-tea Frankfurt School indictment of class, race, capital, injustice... (yaaaawn). I think one of the great injustices in this country today that so much of our media, so much of our political arena, is fabricated by these tapas-bar revolutionaries from the mean streets of Malibu, Brentwood and Beverly Hills. Decades ago, "Dirty" would be hailed as wonderfully subversive by reviewers feasting on the bounty of the very system they claim to despise. It's as subversive as "Dancing With the Stars". This is the only political viewpoint we get - in any movie or documentary produced in this country.In that respect, this movie is similar to "Crash", that other self-celebration of hypocritical Lefty gibberish. In fact, the scene in which Gooding Jr. hassles a middle-class white couple was almost straight-lifted a few years later for "Crash", with the racial components reversed.One reviewer here proposed "it's easy to behave morally in a sheltered, safe, middle-class environment." Well, it's easier not to become murderous animals in that kind of environment - that's for sure. And, evidently, it's a lot easier to develop a morality far removed from the real world by typing out scripts in tony neighborhoods with gates, guards, income levels in the stratosphere and worldviews in Never-Never Land.

Claudio Carvalho In a Los Angeles dominated by violent gangs and a corrupt LAPD Precinct, the dirty Officer Armando Sancho (Clifton Collins Jr.) is haunted by his guilty since an innocent old man was accidentally killed in an operation with his also dirty partner Salim Adel (Cuba Gooding Jr.). The Internal Affairs is pressing Sancho, who feels split between the loyalty to his mates and his conscience, and he has to make a statement at 6:00 PM. When his superiors Captain Spain (Keith David) and his Lieutenant (Cole Hauser) assign the two cops for an operation dealing drugs apprehended by the police and stored as evidence with a powerful drug dealer, Sancho feels that something is wrong and they have been framed."Dirty" has a promising beginning, with the chain of thoughts of Officer Sancho about corruption ("With power came responsibility; with responsibility came opportunity; with opportunity came corruption, a plague where everybody gets sick"). His dramatic feelings, haunted by the ghost of an innocent man and feeling awful as a finger-pointing rat, give the sensation that Sancho is a rich contradictory character to be developed. However, the story is pointless, showing a hopeless society in a city dominated by gangs, lost youth and corrupt police force, but without any message in the end. I had never expected the redemption of any character, but I found the unpleasant plot a caricature and very manipulative view of the LAPD. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Dirty – O Poder da Corrupção" ("Dirty – The Power of the Corruption")
