...hard to know which is more unsettling: the caught-in-the-act scenes of oily agents coddling clients over lunch and at the racetrack, or their considered explanations to the camera of what they do for a living. Ed Limato, who represents such stars as Mel Gibson and Richard Gere, talks about the joys of occasionally handling a newcomer, like actor James Wilder, whom he can teach "how to dress, who's important for him to know, who's not important for him to know." Another agent discusses the value of starting out in the mail room. "You learn what...
...some degree, the preoccupation with the afterlife reflects the obsession of Los Angeles, the crystal-and-channeling capital of the country, where people can mention their past lives with the same seriousness as getting the car engine tuned.

And, for relaxation, lure other men's wives into extramarital affairs. He may be + the most thoroughly corrupt (and corrupting) cop in an overcrowded movie field. His response to a departmental investigation is to threaten to seduce the wife of head detective Raymond Avila (Andy Garcia) if Avila doesn't quash the case. No question about it, Internal Affairs is a nasty, sometimes brutal, piece of work. But Gere is hypnotic, writer Henry...
