Frank operates on a straightforward principle and in this confrontation he ends up repeating the same line to all of Jack's objections, each time louder. Morse makes Frank's rage to think of himself as a good cop specific to the character — as an actor he takes on the force of a bull-necked cop. He makes Frank's insistence bone-rattling. The movie isn't good enough for him, but all the same Morse manages to give as fine a performance as the material allows. Finer.
