This week’s film screening is a film called RAMPART.
RAMPART is
the story of Dave Brown a Los Angeles police officer who works out of the
Rampart Division. Dave is misogynistic, racist, brutally violent, egotistical
and a womanizer, although he defends himself against many of these accusations
as he says that his hate is equal opportunity. However unlawful, he uses
intimidation and brutal force to defend his ideals. The most notorious of his
actions is purportedly murdering a suspected serial date rapist, which is why
he has been given the nickname "Date Rape Dave". He lives with two of
his ex-wives - sisters Barbara and Catherine - in an effort to keep family
together, namely his two daughters, Helen and Margaret, who each have a
different sister as their mother. Dave still maintains a sexual relationship
with both sisters - whenever the mood suits any of them - while he openly has
other sexual relationships. His life is put under a microscope after he is
caught on video brutally beating a person with who he got into an automobile
crash. Written by Huggo
As a fan of gritty dramas
RAMPART to me is definetly that mixed with a look at a man on the decline. The
reason I enjoyed this film as much as I did is do to the powerful performance of Woody
Harrelson whether you sympathize with him or hate him for his actions in the
film you begin to get an idea of why he does what he does as the layers of his
personal life are pulled back reveling this heart broken and angry man looking
over his life trying to find out where it all went wrong. The only good thing
in his life is his job as a LAPD officer and that is on the decline as well.
So, for RAMPART I give it 4 stars for the extraordinary performance of Woody H.
and a powerful script.
