Oren Moverman scripts this tale out of the LAPD’s Rampart division scandal that rocked the department and tainted the face of American security forces in the late 1990s. Woody Harrelson plays the character of the LAPD dirty cop, Dave Brown with shades of a jeopardized psychology – an unhealthy mix of morality and violence. He portrays a LAPD cop, who has injected a lot of anarchy into professional ways, as he started dealing out justice on his will. His family with his two children, and his two sisters is as troubled as is his job, and he moves in and out of it so that it doesn’t stifle him completely. He drives up and down the LA streets, governs and deals out his punishments under his own law. He had seen cop-life upside down, and had realized the futility of individual efforts to clean up things around. As we watch Rampart online, we get to see a police officer who had lost interest in imposing the law in a copy book manner in a white-colored and a clean manner. Brown lived to enforce his own rules, and vent out his frustration at the tangled and politically sick face of his bosses and the federal administration. In the past, he had punished a rapist by awarded him quick death with his own hands then and there. His daughter is aware of this incident, which is the reason behind her daring to address him as “Date Rape”. Life takes a difficult turn for Brown, who evolves as one of the major offenders in the Rampart corruption scandal that soon finds its way to the City Hall. This toughened and reckless member of the force struggles to prove his innocence as he finds himself tactfully placed amongst the most tainted of the 70 officers, framed for planting of evidence, unprovoked beatings and shootings, theft and dealing of narcotics, framing suspects, perjury and clearing evidence.
