Perfect movie for a realist
Added 5/28/2009
Listen alot of the review of this movie discredit it for reasons i see unfit it has a solid original plot the right balance of violence and disapointment to portray the "Real World" it is fiction and i recognize that fact but the movie doesnt dress up the dark minds and actions of men it throws them out there unaltered to let you decide. I think its a solid movie worth adding to any action collection.

Fun to watch with great characters

If you don't like dark movies don't watch this one. Cuba and
his partner are very true to form and interact with with real
life situations. It deserves a higher rating that its being given.

RIDIN' DIRTY
Added 5/3/2007
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. Other than that There's just Two more LAPD officers dealing with the ruthless streets of a town ruled by gangs... By the way it was also the subject of the legendary DENNIS HOPPER's COLORS years ago. None the less it would be unfair to see DIRTY as a TRAINING's rip-off. You see, TRAINING is about corruption (a crooked cop trying to manipulate an honest rookie) when DIRTY is mainly about loyalty, guilt and ultimately redemption.
In spite of the MTV video look that I usually dislike, I enjoyed that flick and will remember it forever. On top of the great talents involved (everybody is on point), it's honest about what it portrays. That whole world is dirty and they show it without watering it down. It's all about guns, drugs and money but as wicked as they are, people still got soul and may be like SANCHO says " you see things more clearly when you're dead ".

The corruption will overthrow the screen!
Added 8/5/2006
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 theory is engaging; they will be eventually well rewarded; this interesting puzzle of encountered interests will reach as you may expected a hazardous boiling point, where nobody will be sure about nothing. The violence is part of the drama, and is plainly justified; the shot angles, as well as the increasing tension make of this a singular movie to watch. A superb script that shows us the rottenness that lives, breaths and beats with absolute impunity beneath contaminated police dossiers. Unerring performances; Cuba Gooding is absolutely amazing as well as the rest of the cast. There is no hole along the way.
The redemption is never enough. Don't miss it under any excuse.
