1994, Luc Besson was a very little known French Director but his early work is so pulpy. Natalie Portman's 1st major role essentially and a Grand Tour de Force by Gary Oldman who pushes the most extreme possible envelopes to showcase "Dirty Cops" long before the current movement was in full swing.

x2 -- actually had the soundtrack from this -- had never heard of John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band before that, but "On the Dark Side" was fire.Love that movie! I probably watched it a dozen times once it hit HBO.
