RAMPART is coming to theaters on November 23rd. The action drama was directed by Oren Moverman and stars Steve Buscemi, Woody Harrelson, Sigourney Weaver, Robin Wright, Ben Foster, Brie Larson, Anne Heche, Ice Cube, Cynthia Nixon, Ned Beatty, Jon Foster, Jon Bernthal, Stella Schnabel, Sophie Kargman, Leonard Kelly-Young, Sammy Boyarsky, Robert Wisdom, Matt McTighe, Deadlee, Steve Forbess and Don Creech.
The film tells the tale of Officer Dave Brown (Harrelson), a Vietnam vet and a Rampart Precinct cop, who is dedicated to doing "the people's dirty work" and asserting his own code of justice, often blurring the lines between right and wrong to maintain his action-hero state of mind. When he gets caught on tape beating a suspect, he finds himself in a personal and emotional downward spiral as the consequences of his past sins and his refusal to change his ways in light of a department-wide corruption scandal seal his fate.
Brown internalizes his fear, anguish and paranoia as his world, complete with two ex-wives who are sisters, two daughters, an aging mentor dispensing bad advice, investigators galore, and a series of seemingly random women, starts to unravel. In the end, what is left is a human being stripped of all his pretense, machismo, chauvinism, arrogance, sexism, homophobia, racism, aggression, misanthropy; but is it enough to redeem him as a man?
