Synopsis

Woody Harrelson (ZOMBIELAND) puts in a career-defining turn as crooked cop Dave Brown in his second fruitful collaboration with writer/director Oren Moverman (THE MESSENGER).

Set in '90s LA, when the fallout of the infamous Rodney King police brutality case is still fresh, RAMPART follows Brown, an aging throwback to a time when law enforcement was more accommodating of shoot-first-ask-questions-later skullduggery. But when the heat is on him after his heavy-handed tactics are caught on tape, his professional and private walls come crashing down around him.
