Solid, if a bit dry, adaptation of Joseph Wambaugh's true crime classic. It gets off to an underwhelming start, and goes soft towards the end - but when the complexities of the characters start to come out, it coalesces into a compelling look at the criminal justice system and the lives it affects. The cast is strong, with the notable exception of John Savage, who for some reason mumbles his way through his role.

It's the true story of two LAPD offices and a night in an onion field that will change lives for years to come!. . .

James Woods as the near-psychotic Powell is chillingly effective, creating a flakiness in the character that exudes the danger of a live wire near a puddle.

The Onion Field has real potential to be a very compelling film. There are tons of great character pieces with a complex plot, but it all somehow just doesn't go anywhere. This film is based on true events, but I'm wondering if the actual events were portrayed as is, and if so, did they need to be so true to them? I'm not going to spoil the entirety of the film, nor am I going to get into a discussion on dramatic character development and satisfactory story, but it basically winds down to nothing. Dramatic tension tries its hardest to kick in at times with little to no pay-off. This, to me, seemed more suited to be a Broadway production rather than a film. Two hours of complex plot and emotionally unsatisfying events make for a very dull film, despite the talent behind it.

James Woods never topped the performance he gave here.
