a review of 局内人

been a lil bit since i've seen this one. still love the suspense and the tricksy, swervy plot. love watching the pigs squirm and get outwitted. i didn't remember how much casual racism and also overt racism you have to watch to get through this one. also, while it's clearly meant to make the cops look like dumb fucks, it also like humanizes and worships them a lil in the same breath (trope about the "good cops" lol). So ya, cool storytelling, wacky funny skilled acting (imo), spike lee joint.
