Two idealistic outcasts in the County Sheriff's Office, the first black deputy and the first female deputy (the cherub-faced Michael Boatman and the pixie-haired Lori Petty), pool forces to unmask police corruption, racism, sexism, the whole ball of wax. The churning, slow-going exposition works its way into a pretty jittery state of paranoia before the unsatisfying fizzle of an ending: several paragraphs of printed postscript to explain how it all turns out. With Michael Ironside, Richard Anderson, Bernie Casey, and Ice Cube; directed by Charles Burnett. (1995) — Duncan Shepherd
