Report to the Commissioner feels like its trying to be Serpico but without the same great lead actor.
Moriarity is an ok actor but he's no Pacino!
The feel of the story is pretty good, allowing us to get involved and follow the characters as they reveal themselves to us.
The film could have benefitted from a little more meat on the bone, both from character depth and the levels of violence and sex which are limited.
Where the film wins is the ensemble cast, so many good actors add power to the show, with no weal spots to let the movie down.
The film sits in the Hollywood sweet spot between 1965 and 1985, where cop movies were at their peak :)
