The 2011 Toronto International Film Festival is currently underway. Ben attended the premiere of his upcoming film, Rampart which also stars Woody Harrelson, Steve Buscemi and Ben’s brother Jon Foster. Head over to the gallery for the latest additions.

Dave Brown (Woody Harrelson), Brown is a cop long ago unleashed from the rules of the Los Angeles Police Department. Roving the streets in his black-and-white cruiser, he governs and punishes at will. His home life is a riddle. Somehow he has fathered children with two sisters (Anne Heche and Cynthia Nixon). Somehow he still lives casually with them both, slipping in and out of a family life thats as tangled as his long career on the force. His own daughter calls him Date Rape. Thats because, years ago, Brown may have killed a rapist and gotten away with it.

The shadow of the incident still haunts him, so when his Rampart division gets caught up in a corruption scandal, Brown makes an easy target. As the controversy seeps through the department and into city hall, this hardened, reckless officer finds himself at the centre of a sordid L.A. story.

Although based on a real LAPD scandal from the nineties, Rampart easily transcends reportage.
