"The first thing a cop learns is that he can't trust nobody but his partners", Detective Danny Ciello tells an assistant D.A. "I sleep with my wife, but I live with my partners. I will never give them up". From Robery Daley's riveting book about New York City police-corruption investigations, director/co-writer Sidney Lumet's film portrays a squad that pays a terrible price when one in its ranks does just that. Treat Williams (as Ciello, inspired by real-life undercover narcotics cop Robert Leuci), Jerry Orbach, Bob Balaban and Lindsay Crouse give standout performance in this gripping film.
