Into such a world populated by officers who would just as soon as bury a broken bottle in your neck as arrest you, Ed Exley (Guy Pearce) enters, a fresh-scrubbed "golden boy" with an absolute commitment to good. Exley is a little uncomfortable with the corner-cutting approach of the police chief Dudley Smith (James Cromwell), who dispenses tips on life with a thin smile that promises something violently wrong...
