I saw this list of movies with the dirtiest cops and Josh Brolin was listed on there for his performance of Trupo...anyone see this? I think he was definitely the dirtiest cop I've seen in a movie in a while... who do you think was dirtier?
heres the link to the article --- http://www.livebythemanual.com/?p=997
In Cop Land Harvey Keitel, Arthur J. Nascarella, John Spencer, and Robert Patrick play some very dirty cops. They killed fellow officers, planted evidence, and stole from various people. Sylvester Stallone's character ,who was already half deaf, was made permanently deaf by them.

* I wouldn't say Denzel in Training Day because you actually wanted him to win in the end. How can a guy be that dirty or bad?

Spoiler alert for them spoil sports out there! Y'all like spoiled milk, stop crying over it!
Gary oldman killed it in leon: the professional. He was so evil. Harvey keitel in cop land, that evil french cop in kiss of the dragon, ricky tan in rush hour 2 and of course denzel in training day.
shareKeitel in Bad Lieutenant? He might be the dirtiest because he is dirty in practically every way in that movie lol. Oldman in Leon? Bat shit crazy.
I think Denzel in Training Day and Brolin in American Gangster are easily two of the best examples of crooked movie cops. From being downright despicable (Alonzo probably found himself owing money but a lot of his actions were inexcusable), to doing whatever they felt was “necessary”. And along with the others already mentioned, Matt Dillon in Crash is a noteworthy one (on the more realistic side).
