Movie Review: Just Like Going to Work
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a great movie. If you want to see a realistic and authentic portrayal of street cops and jail deputies this is it. Duvall clearly did his research for this role. His mannerisms flawlessly represent a veteran cop without appearing contrived or overly dramatized. Penn did a credible job also; his swagger and poor judgment accurately reflected an officer with 4 to 8 years tenure. Watching this movie causes the same stir in the pit of my stomach that I felt 25 years ago breaking line-up and loading up the squad car for another futile day in the Heights. Any time I feel like reminiscing I just watch this movie. The gang violence was graphic, but not gratuitously so. Watching the jail deputies withhold medical care until the bloody inmate coughs up some useful intel was fairly humorous and realistic. Duvall's final scene sent a chill up my spine. Having cradled the head of a grievously injured officer after finding her laying in a pool of her own blood, this scene was all too real for me. The only distraction was casting Trinidad Silva as the same smooth-talking aging gangster diplomat that he played on Hill Street Blues. Had it not been for that character, watching this movie would have been just like going to work. Silva's character reminded me that this was only a movie. Whether or not this movie deserves critical acclaim is out of my domain. The movie works on a very visceral level. For the most part, it is an accurate and authentic depiction of the interaction between a seasoned veteran cop and a young buck full of piss and vinegar. It is a poignant reminder that good guys don't always finish first, and sometimes they even get killed. And it serves as a legitimate testament that gang violence is a very real and very serious problem. Rent this movie--you won't be disappointed.
