Sneering, vile, sleezy pretty boys...they all have something in common and its not acting ability, its called ego...these pretty boys are just glorified skirt chasers and think monogamy is a swear word...the body language dares you to hit them despite the fact they are cops...and there you have it....macho men in macho jobs...it'll have women swooning in the aisles...not...they are still playing the same roles today...lousy actors

Internal Affairs is really nothing new and it adds no interesting takes to an already worn-out genre of cops. That being said, this is a watchable film thanks to Richard Gere's crazy performance. There is plenty of action and creative scenes of dialogue. Despite the worn-out tropes, the film is thrilling at times and even downright scary, which is a plus for an action-thriller. This film is about a young cop named Raymond Avila who joins the LAPD. Dennis Peck is a veteran cop who does things his way and in essence, is a crooked cop. Now Raymond has Dennis in his sight as he will investigate him and try to bring him down. Richard Gere's excellent performance is the one thing that carries the film. He is often cast as the good guy, so it's a good change of pace here. He is portrayed as normal, but he has an inner evil self and when that side emerges, all hell breaks lose. Andy Garcia as Raymond also does a swell job and he shows great chemistry with Gere. Overall, if you're looking for something new in the genre of cops, Internal Affairs is not for you. If you're looking for an action-packed, entertaining film that has a great lead performance by Richard Gere, then this film may be for you. It's nothing new, but I had a rather good time watching it.My Grade: B-

I've long been a fan of Richard Gere, with his strong jaw, gorgeous eyes and winning smile, so watching him play the dirty cop Dennis Peck was a startling experience. I love when actors like him play against type, taking their incredibly likable charm and turning it on it's head, making you regret falling for them when they turn out to be as bad as the dirtiest villain. Internal Affairs is a tight crime thriller that pits him against IAD officer Raymond Avilla (Andy Garcia), as the two engage in a roller coaster of hits and misses to bring the other down.Avilla goes after Peck's finances and the cops he takes care of, trying to turn them against their intimidating leader, while Peck goes after Avilla's wife to try to rip him apart from the inside. Peck is one of those guy who is always in control, or always appears to be even when his house of cards is crumbling down. Gere gives one of his finest performances, making Peck the kind of man who draws you in and then throws you out when he doesn't need you. He's a slick, calculated, incredibly intelligent villain in blue and he utilizes every skill he has an actor. Garcia counters perfectly as the more emotional Avilla, a man whose pride won't allow him to let Peck get off clean and whose temper often gets the better of him.Mike Figgis directs Internal Affairs with a solid vision, knowing when to key up the dramatics and when to slow things down properly. There's nothing particularly new about this cop thriller, but it does all of the old tricks right. The showdown between the two of them is intense, building to a great climax, and there are several action sequences throughout that get the blood pumping. This is a solid thriller in every way, highlighted by two very fine performances.
