Fantastic!
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Compelling, tragic, and wonderful! Rachel Alig and Stefan Prater's performances pull at the hearts of viewers allowing them to glimpse into the danger and compassion professional police officers face daily.Also. the performances by Frederick Lawrence as a drunk driver and Laura Rauh as a therapist are noteworthy in that they are convincingly realistic to the ever critical viewer. The very dark movie is lightened-up when Florence Romano, the MILF, appears and brightens the story line with her witty, charming, well-written lines. Rick Bakewell's One Man Productions has great potential for future success in the movie making industry. Rick was inspired to write his script for "Officer Down" after spending time filming the television show "Cops" where he became all too familiar with the daily danger involved in the lives of real-life law enforcement. The premiere, held in Chicago, was a class act. The film, literally, silenced an entire audience with its intense footage and fine performances. For 110 minutes, the captive audience awaited the fates of the four main characters. With many twists and turns, Bakewell draws viewers into the story weaving a tale many will come to love.
