168 minute running time, nearly 3 hours long! so at least 70 minutes too long…. corruption in the NYC police department … one cop turns informant and you’re never really sure why … interminable story, I can’t imagine watching it all at normal speed … lead overacts like a madman … not interesting … only thing of note is how awful New York City looks: trash-strewn, dirty and gray. Give this endless, on and on and on movie a miss!
