Rating: - First I liked it, now I think it's primitive
As a teenager I remember watching and loving movies such as this one, based on the wounded machismo of the "good guy" character (played by Andy Garcia here). The bad guy, in this case Richard Gere, challenges the good guy on several key areas of his macho identity: Who is the smartest, who is the best lover, who does the women prefer, is he stealing MY woman? And the predictable happens- all us stupid boys/men in the audience are drawn in as we identify with the "good guy".
This is Internal Affairs in a nutshell. The plot is incredibly primitive, based on the macho competition between Garcia and Gere's characters. Nothing interesting happens, it's all totally predictable. If you want to prevent your brain from atrophy due to contamination, avoid this movie.
As a teenager I enjoyed this movie, now I think it's primitive and boring.
Rating: - Gere/Garcia at Their BEST
Never liked either of the two leads, Gere or Garcia. "American Gigolo" was dreck masquerading as something edgy and "Godfather 3" was misery to view.
That said, Gere redeems as the tense and unlikable Dennis Peck. He'll steal, takes bribes, screw your wife, stick you in the back any way he can, the kind of sociopathic personality that one hopes they never meet.He's also a cop.
Garcia as the good guy IAD officer who tries to play fair but has his own manhood,morality and temper tested to the 12th power by the amoral Peck.
Decent support cast, great overall.
Rating: - about the movie/film Internal Affairs.........
I bought this DVD from Singapore videoshops....hee hee and have watched them. The main issue of this movie is actually to catch whom is the killer in a cop department. Recommended to those whom are interested in this genre of movie/film.....

Rating: - DId I see the same movie as these other reviewers?
After reading all of the other reviews of this film and all of the praise heaped on it, I have to wonder, are we all watching the same movie? "Internal Affairs" is a weird film with so many preposterous premises that it could almost be a dark comedy if it was not for all of the mental and physical cruelty going on. As ridiculous as the plot is, you can see the end, and about everything in between, coming at you a mile away.
Raymond Avilla (Andy Garcia) is an officer in the LAPD in the Internal Affairs Division. In one of his first assignments, Garcia and his partner Amy Wallace (Laurie Metcalf) are investigating officer Van Stretch (William Baldwin). Avilla also suspects Stretch's partner, Dennis Peck (Richard Gere), since he finds it hard to believe that Stretch's partner would be blind to his illegal activity. He also believes that Stretch does not have the intelligence or the independence to be pulling ... Read More
