Featured review
Didn't expect much but really enjoyed this. Its more all about people and really there is little action for a police film.
It tells the story of a new cop's first night shift on the job with a senior officer whose first day it is as a training officer. The story develops and there is more to it than just a night shift.
Apart from a little bit in the middle, the film keeps your attention. Most of the action you see from or around the Crown Vic. Some of the action happens off camera as it happens away from the Crown Vic. You also see the arrest and then they are back on patrol.
It is very well acted and written. There are some things didn't like. There is 10min in the middle where it gets very dull. I am not sure the timeline works. I do not know about US police but don't they have to book in prisoners and process them? The timeline seemed to have them arrest, take the prisoner back, book them in, process them and back in the car in minutes. The ending is also very arupt.
Apart from this it is a good character driven film. There is little action so I wouldn't watch it expecting an action cop film.
Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOutside of the U.S., where the Crown Vic vehicle is prominently produced and used by law enforcement, the producers behind the film decided to give the film different names in foreign countries who would be unaware of the title's meaning. Therefore in Australia, the film is titled "Protect and Serve", in Germany the film is called "In A Web of Violence" and in the UK the film is called "Bulletproof".
- GoofsEven with the now exiting-service Ford Crown Vics, the dash cam was always mounted from the windshield header. In the depicted position laying on the dash board in the movie, it would only capture video of the hood.
- Quotes
Ray Mandel: Can't trust a man with no vices.
Nick Holland: My old man used to say bad habits were the only thing keeping sane men from going off the deep end.
