What really distinguishes Rampart from the standard police corruption film, and prevents it from sliding into outright misanthropy, is its focus on the emotional stakes.

Rampart is more of a character study than any sort of crime procedural, and it’s all the better for it.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 27, 2023

Officer Brown is such a terrible person that he becomes almost a caricature ... by the end of the movie, nothing about him left any kind of resonance.

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 4, 2020

So Rampart, is it some great character study and powerful film? Maybe to some but not really.

| Original Score: C | Jan 11, 2020

Life and death, sanity and insanity, humanity and inhumanity. The courage to stand on one's convictions. Visceral white hot emotion fueled by a frenzied fire. This is Rampart.

| Nov 26, 2019

Compelling, yes, but not for the faint of heart.

| Original Score: 3.2/5 | Nov 8, 2019

Rampart is very good at showing us a man who cannot come to terms with controlling his fury for long, and Harrelson makes us believe he exists.

| Original Score: B | Feb 8, 2019

"Rampart" is engrossing enough to forgive them, settling into a culture of corruption where the rough edges of the frame resemble the fraying image of the once noble profession Brown comes to represent.

| Jan 8, 2019

A fine film with a towering leading performance from Harrelson, great cast and solid direction, but may perhaps be too low-key to linger long in the memory.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 13, 2018

An experience to be savored. Mr. Harrelson has become an astonishingly brave actor who carries the movie with ease.

| Aug 10, 2018

A terrible movie that only works on the rare occasions when Harrelson's searing performance is allowed to shine.

| May 12, 2015

A powerful portrait of a seriously damaged, both internally and externally, man.

| Original Score: A- | Aug 11, 2014

[A] cop drama in the vein of Bad Lieutenant, except in this case the bad cop that is front and centre truly thinks he's doing good.

| Sep 8, 2013

Rampart doesn't end up having as much emotional punch to it as The Messenger did, mainly because it feels as though the idea was not thought out to completion.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 23, 2013

What keeps the movie engaging for as long as it was is the amazing performance by two-time Oscar nominee Woody Harrelson.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 16, 2012

IN case you needed it, this unsettling cop drama is further proof that Woody Harrelson is one of the most underrated actors going round.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 14, 2012

You get the impression that the film is as conflicted as its protagonist: trying to be both an arty character study and a dynamic drama at the same time but unable to excel at either.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 13, 2012

A film saddled with a melodramatic script that would serve better as a 온라인카지노추천 pilot.

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 4, 2012

No thrills, no secret plots, and no obvious politics, "Rampart" is a powerful and moving look into an empty person.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Aug 25, 2012

Woody Harrelson is mesmerising as the anti-hero of gripping crime drama Rampart, but his pill-popping, booze-swigging, suspect-beating dirty cop, is so irredeemably unsympathetic that you almost wish he weren't so compelling to watch.
