Rampart (2011) seemed like a promising film-it boasted a screenplay from one of my favorite contemporary crime writers James Ellroy and it was billed as having the most corrupt police officer of all time. This character, “Date Rape” Dave, was well played by Woody Harrelson. I have to say that it didn’t live up to those expectations. There were some entertaining scenes; Harrelson was great, and some great lines. There were some good cameos by the likes of Ned Beatty, Steve Buscemi, and Sigourney Weaver among others.But too much family back-story and other grounding aspects that were designed to make the lead more likeable. My favorite line: “You are the best looking woman I have ever seen…in this bar.”
