I'll try to keep this brief. The only people who probably enjoy this film are the gutter people who feed on mind numbing gangsta rap with its twisted, nihilistic, and perverse view on society. This is a vile, unwatchable, film about corrupt street cops that no discerning film viewer could endure. The implausible, nefarious, portrayal of a corrupt police unit is so overboard that the script's credibility is totally lost. The script would have been more believable if it was about a street gang that disguised themselves as police to help pull off a drug deal/scam from a rival gang. The moral struggle that the main character Clifton Collins Jr. unsuccessfully deals with could just as easily work without the badge. If the unrelenting verbal diarrhea were to be removed from the script this would be a silent movie. The verbal expletives literally outnumber the actual words of true dialog. I am disappointed that an actor of the caliber of Cuba Gooding Jr. would accept a role in a film that unabashedly defames and dishonours the police in such a blatant and untruthful manner. If he was trying to throw off his good guy image with his role in this film I think he has done his career a lot more harm than good.
