L.A.P.D.: To Protect And To Serve (2001)

Dennis Hopper and Michael Madsen round out the tough-guy cast in Ed Anders’ hard-nosed west coast cop drama L.A.P.D.: To Protect and to Serve (2001). Marc Singer stars as Sam Steele, an L.A.P.D. newbie who’s determined to rid the streets of armed thugs notorious for killing convenience-store clerks. Steele’s got added incentive to rub out the goons since his dad (Charles Durning) mans the counter at a local grocery. Unfortunately the job won’t be easy, as Steele suspects the thugs are getting help from the inside. Anders’s film is an armed-to-the-tooth study of police-force machismo, and we’re happy to say that Marc’s firm buttocks make an appearance here mid-coital, albeit partially obscured by a bed sheet. Come on Mr. Singer, don’t protect your ass, serve it up!
