RAMPART Special Screenings

Academy Award-nominated writer/ director Oren Moverman (THE MESSENGER) and James Ellroy (“LA Confidential “) team up to create a hard-boiled crime drama layered with grit , loathing and disgrace. Woody Harrelson gives a ferocious performance as Dave Brown, an LA cop trapped in a vicious cycle of corruption. For Brown, there is no way out; there are only ways to dig in deeper, until you either disappear or die. When he is not being eaten alive by his beat on the East Side, Brown aggressively and relentlessly takes his own big bites, until he finds himself set up to take the fall to deflect attention from an even bigger corruption scandal at the LAPD’s Rampart division. As Brown’s career crumbles, so does his personal life, leaving behind a trail of angry ex-wives, neglected children and late-night lovers. Great performances from Sigourney Weaver, Robin Wright , Ben Foster, Ice Cube and Steve Buscemi round out this modern LA noir.
