4/24: The pairing of Andy Garcia and Richard Gere is the best thing going for Internal Affairs.

It's also stylish and sexy with lots of neo-noir traits. An additional treat is the appearance of William Baldwin. Director Mike Figgis improved his craft a great deal after he did Stormy Monday. This time, there's coherence, and everything is all together.

Although the story is compelling, I have to say Richard Gere's character, Dennis Peck, is hard to believe. However, his anger toward Andy Garcia is for real, and they didn't get along during the filming. On the other hand, Laurie Metcalf isn't a proven movie actress which is why she stayed with Roseanne.

All in all, Internal Affairs deserves a look.
