Rampart is a powerful, if sometimes bleak, exploration of a morally complex protagonist. Woody Harrelson’s performance as Dave Brown is compelling, drawing the viewer into the chaotic world of the Rampart Division. While the film’s intense focus on Brown’s descent might not cater to all tastes, its raw portrayal of corruption and its consequences makes for a thought-provoking watch. However, some critics note the film’s relentless grimness and underuse of its stellar supporting cast as drawbacks.
