Gere is hypnotic, writer Henry Bean's construction is entertainingly intricate, and director Mike Figgis knows how to turn on a subtle, authentic erotic heat. Full Review |

|
|
Figgis never lets the pace slow long enough to expose the story's thinness despite, in retrospect, a moderate amount of action. Full Review |
||
|
4/5 |
A lurid, lightweight throw-together of cheap psycho-thrills which tries to dress itself up as something more substantial. Full Review |
||
|
|
The conflict between Gere and Garcia is what carries the movie; deep beneath the macho brutality there's an almost homoerotic tint to their relationship. It makes for compelling stuff. Full Review |
||
 1.5/4 |
Yet another goofy credit in Gere's already overloaded resume of embarrassment -- although some may consider this one of those movies that's so silly it's good. Full Review |

|
3/4 |
Internal Affairs delivers what it promises, and perhaps a little more. There's less action but more menace, and the pulse quickens as the plot drives relentlessly toward a conclusion that, in retrospect, can be seen as inevitable. Full Review |

Internal Affairs is, for the dim movie season that is traditionally January, an unusually bright light. Full Review |

1.5/4 |
Internal Affairs is all stylish visuals and no substance whatsoever. That may be an attempt to hide the silliness of Henry Bean's first-time screenplay, but it doesn't work. Full Review |
