A Cop Movie

About This Movie

So, 'A Cop Movie' is a unique blend of documentary and drama. Alonso Ruizpalacios crafts a narrative that feels both raw and polished. It's not your standard cop story—he dives deep into the murky waters of police corruption in Mexico. The pacing is kind of erratic, which adds to the tension, but in a good way. You’ve got these two officers who offer a really intimate view of their lives and the system they're part of. The performances feel genuine, almost like they’re breaking the fourth wall at times. The atmosphere is heavy, but there's an odd sense of humor that pops up. It’s distinct because it doesn’t shy away from the gritty reality, yet it still feels, I don’t know, almost theatrical at moments.
