Bad Cop, BAD COP !!!!
I've always preferred watching movies with bad, corrupt and insane cops than the typical honest, 'no nonsense' and text book cops that we see usually in the movies .

- DirectorCurtis HansonStarsKevin SpaceyRussell CroweGuy PearceAs corruption grows in 1950s Los Angeles, three policemen - one strait-laced, one brutal, and one sleazy - investigate a series of murders with their own brand of justice.One of the best crime thrillers I've seen !!
- DirectorWerner HerzogStarsNicolas CageEva MendesRussell M. HaeuserTerence McDonagh is a drug- and gambling-addled detective in post-Katrina New Orleans investigating the killing of five Senegalese immigrants.I have not seen the one with Harvey Keitel, but I really liked this and just dont understand why it has so many haters. Nicolas Cage in one of his better roles.

- DirectorSidney LumetStarsAl PacinoJohn RandolphJack KehoeAn honest New York cop named Frank Serpico blows the whistle on rampant corruption in the force only to have his comrades turn against him.A great movie. Even though it doesn't exactly fit in here, I'm adding it because it has plenty of bad cops or only one good cop, to be precise.
