We took eleven million in drug profits out of the van. The money doesn't know where it comes from, but I do. If I keep it, I'm a criminal. If I give it to the government, I'm a fool. If I try and do some good with it, maybe it just makes things worse. Either way, I'll probably just wind up getting myself in more trouble. It's an impossible choice, but in a way, we all have to make it. What would you do?

A lot better than I was expecting, very good.

Going into seeing this movie, I wasn&apos;t sure about what I was going to see. I was expecting something kind of good (because of Roger Ebert&apos;s review), but not great (because of some other reviews).  But I was not expecting such a good film.  Laurence Fishburne (Boyz in the Hood, What&apos;s Love Got To Do With It) stars as a cop who has avoided drugs and the crime life because of his father&apos;s involvement and death in it.  Soon he is offered a job going undercover as a drug dealer.  He accepts it.  After a little while he gets himself deep into it.  He forms partnerships with high ranked drug dealers, which includes Jeff Goldblum (Jurassic Park, Nine Monthes).  Soon he becomes less of an undercover cop, but more of a drug dealer.  He soon realizes that he is betraying his cause and joining up with them.  This presents a problem for him, because he likes the power as a drug dealer and the money, but he also vowed he would never become like his dad.  This is a very well done movie, with a great script.  Laurence Fishburne is excellent in the lead role.  Jeff Goldblum (who I have never seen in such a deep role) is also strong delivering a surprisingly good performance.  A good, but violent film.
