After he leaves his alcoholic wife, Detective Sergeant Quinlan (LaPaglia), convinced his long-time friend and partner (Weaving) is corrupt, launches himself into a massive but secretive campaign to blow the whistle on widespread police corruption in his city. A huge cast, top-notch acting and a gripping plot make up for the occasional ambiguity, which perhaps more than anything cost it a Best Film nomination – it may have been better received had it been preceded by the caption `based on a true story'. LaPaglia – who would later bring down the house with a similar, yet very different, role in LANTANA – and Otto are nothing short of brilliant; they were both recognised with AFI nominations. This was Davis's first film role. 7/10.
