From NetFlix:

Dave Brown is a dirty cop with a mile-wide mean streak. As he roams the streets meting out “justice,” the LAPD sinks into a corruption scandal. The countdown to Brown’s judgment is on in this fact-based film co-written by crime novelist James Ellroy.

Have you ever known someone who is “never wrong”? Let me introduce you to Dave Brown (known affectionately as “date rape”). Each day of Dave’s life he sinks just a bit lower into bullying, corruption, murder, etc. Whenever the LAPD tries to restrain him and avoid scandal, he can deliver the most inventive self-justifying excuses you have ever heard. His twisted eloquence is actually entertaining. Unfortunately he more or less believes what he says. His usual inquisitor is Sigourney Weaver with whom I usually associate “aliens” (but in this case the “alien” is our friend Dave).

Woody Harrelson’s performance is excellent. But is it really entertaining to watch a defiantly corrupt man’s life go down the toilet ?
