More crime film cliches

For a crime film to work, there must be a wizened , cynical cop who is closed to retirement and has seen it all. There must be a young cop who just got married, and who will almost certainly die. There must be a full-dress funeral service, preferably in the rain.



Finally, gangster movies would not be gangster movies without the crucial scene in the hospital where a good-looking young cop comes on duty relace the cop who is guarding an important witness, then turns out to be a hit man.
