Amazon.co.uk Review
Mike Figgis' IInternal Affairs/I makes great play with some fairly obvious ironies--"Trust me, I'm a cop", Richard Gere says to a couple for whom he is arranging the death of their parents--but its real strength lies in a cluster of central performances. Gere has rarely been better than he is as the charismatic, self-righteous entirely corrupt and corrupting Dennis Peck, but Andy Garcia is at least as impressive as the "selfish yuppy bastard", the ambitious Internal Affairs cop Avila whose determination to bring Peck down is as much to do with massaging his own ego as with fighting the good fight, particularly after Peck starts making moves on Avila's gallery curator wife. This is a film about men destructively manipulating each other's self-love--the two men have more in common than they like to admit, a point sardonically made by Amy, the world-weary lesbian cop who is Avila's partner (an impressive performance by Figgis regular Laurie Metcalfe). IInternal Affairs/I was the best thriller of 1990 and one of the decade's best. --IRoz Kaveney/I

TOP GERE October 22, 2007
Richard Gere in unfamiliar territory, as a devious and dangerous bent cop.br /br /His character bends the rules and skims money from protection rackets, drug deals and prostitution. Andy Garcia works within the Internal Affairs (cops watching cops as they say) department and Gere's vicious, murderous reign is uncovered.br /br /Very clever and fast moving film.
Brilliant movie... light dvd!!! February 1, 2005

This is as good as suspense/cop/curruption movies gets. Mike Figgis can hold his head up proud knowing he made a studio film within the Hollywood system and with its stars and crew. But can someone get a message to him or the distributers to do a special edition or collectors edition, because this version of the film on DVD has no extras! Nothing! Zilch!... such a pity.brIt would be nice to see the making of, deleted scenes, commentary, considering Figgis worked on the music as well, which is an absolute cracker, brilliant! Come on Mike just try it please please!
Possibly the best thriller of the early nineties October 14, 2002

Perhaps there are people who look at this film and think, "Oh no, Richard Gere!" This movie will defy your expectations. Gere has never been better - his portrayal of corrupt cop Denis Peck is the backbone of this excellent thriller. Peck moves easily from accepting backhanders to developing a nice sideline in contract killing, all the while trumpeting the values of a family man. It is Gere's skill to play with both sides of this monster, but he is not alone in acting ability. Take a look a the scene where Andy Garcia as Raymond Avilar is introduced to Internal Affairs by his new boss - Garcia doesn't say a word, but his intense disgust at his boss's corporate doublespeak is conveyed by a single, piercing look. Laurie Metcalfe, as Garcia's new partner, also gives a measured performance that works to accentuate the differences between Peck and Avilar.brIn all, this criminally overlooked film should be a must-see for anyone who relishes well-acted, well-crafted entertainment.
Garcia and Gere at their very best. March 22, 2001

Gere plays a crooked, manipulative, corrupt, womanising veteran police officer (Dennis Peck). Garcia (Raymond Avilla) is an internal affairs officer who finds himself investigating Gere (Dennis Peck) after the death of a police officer. Dennis Peck retaliates by persuading the innocent Mrs. Avilla to meet him for lunch (on the pretext that he is worried about her husband's workload) knowing he is being tailed by Raymond. This leads to an explosive and violent meeting between both cops and puts an even greater strain on the already fragile Avilla marriage.pWith actors of the calibre of Garcia and Gere, it must have been difficult for the rest of the cast to establish a presence, but Laurie Metcalf (Roseanne's sister) who plays Raymond Avilla's partner, and William Baldwin (playing Peck's partner) are certainly worth a mention.pExpertly directed by Mike Figgis, Garcia, as always, shines through, but Richard Gere is outstanding - this has to be his finest ever performance.
