The Seven Five

About This Movie

The Seven Five delves deep into the gritty underbelly of '80s Brooklyn, focusing on Michael Dowd, a cop who blurred the lines of law and order. It's haunting, really, watching Dowd recount his descent into corruption, and the atmosphere is thick with the tension of a city spiraling out of control. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to absorb the weight of each decision he made, and it’s filled with interviews that feel raw and unfiltered. The practical effects of the time, like the neon-lit streets, really set the stage for this grim reality. Performances are compelling, but it’s the authenticity of the storytelling that stands out - you get a sense of the chaos that was happening in the NYPD during that era.
