by HollywoodlandNBC's Friday night series “Grimm” is a fantasy show, but for reasons I cannot fathom the program's writers chose to mine that most heinous relic of Mittel-Europa: the story of the seemingly good and kind Jew who is really a demonic creature underneath for last week's...

I vaguely remember this film (from the early 90's I think) about police corruption. I tend to get it mixed up in my mind with "Internal Affairs" with Andy Garcia. Perhaps the fact I don't remember it more distinctly is a sign I didn't think it very memorable. I will say, I used to think Nolte was a great "gritty" hero when he was younger, but somehow, anytime I see him in a film these days, all I can think of is his "d.u.i. photo" on the "Smoking Gun."
It's a superb film. Nolte's (no relation) great in it, a menacing bear, but Luis Guzman really shines. Do-gooder Timothy Hutton going up against corrupt cop Nolte (no relation) is something to see.
All I can think of is his not acknowledging Elia Kazan when he got his special Oscar. Yeah, communist GOOD. Anti-communist BAAAAAAAD.
What happened to Nolte? Within a period of ten years he became your drunk uncle that lives way out of town.
I can't think of an Assante film that I haven't enjoyed actually… even the "cable regular" Citizen Verdict with Jerry Springer…
Wasn't Nolte's character a closeted gay in that movie? That's about all I remember from it.
Nick Nolte's career has sadly failed to make the most of his impressive capacity.
He has had riveting moments in many forgettable films.
Not long ago, he was great in The Good Thief (2002), a decent heist flick (refreshingly not too Hollywood slick).
My favorite Nick Nolte performance was a 45 minute part of a trilogy, called New York Stories (1989),
which is also my favorite Scorcese film and another great script by Richard Price
(these two also teamed well on The Color of Money, 1986).
One of Armand Assante's most rewarding films is the very obscure Belizaire the Cajun (1985).
John, I'll definitely give it another crack. Superb and gritty dramas are definitely in my wheelhouse. Thanks!
All I know is Nick Nolte was a cool enough guy to sneak me in to the hockey auditions for 'Slapshot' many moons ago. One of the great memories of trying to make my bones as a young actor. Nick Nolte…aces with me.
Someone else recognizes Luis Guzman?
I'll forgive you, John, for your "Star Trek 90210" comments simply for this.
:p
