Ex-Cop is a gritty 1993 thriller that dives into the world of a down-and-out cop trying to redeem himself. Pete Danberg's character, haunted by his drinking problem, is relatable in a way that makes you root for him, even as he spirals deeper into his obsession with the Las Vegas Slasher case. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and it keeps you guessing, even if the pacing sometimes lags. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, amplifying the film's darker moments. The performances, particularly Danberg's struggle with his demons, carry the film. It has this raw edge that gives it a feel distinct from many thrillers of its time, capturing that noir vibe nicely.
