The Commissioner is quite a fascinating entry from '98 that blends crime, action, and drama in a way that feels both timely and a bit dormant. John Hurt's performance carries a weight, embodying a fallen politician whose moral compass is put to the test amidst a backdrop of bureaucratic absurdity. The pacing feels deliberate, almost reminiscent of classic political thrillers, allowing tension to build as he unravels a conspiracy that’s as unsettling as it is plausible. The atmosphere is thick with a sense of dread, and the practical effects, though not overbearing, ground the film in harsh realism. It raises questions about power and accountability, making it a unique, if underappreciated, piece of cinema that lingers long after the credits roll.
John Hurt delivers a compelling performance. · Exploration of political corruption and accountability. · Distinctive blend of action and drama in a bureaucratic setting.
