Wayne, I agree with you in the scene you just described. I liked the movie, but the credibility gaps were there or confusing.
Chalk this up to the audience not suspending enough disbelief.
"Certainly if the tape was given to police, he would have been arrested immediately, "
Perhaps Scorcese wanted to introduce this quandry because this could be a case of Dr.-client confidentiality (I haven't had a chance to see the HK version). Bad cop would have been arrested right away, but the mob connection might have been a little intimidating to her. Look at me. I'm apologizing for Scorcese.
OTOH, I enjoy watching LA Confidential numerous times, another good cop, bad cop film. I thought the story line was pretty tight except Bud took a lot of lead and lived, maybe just compensation for getting Basinger.
