Topic: One Good Cop


  
  COP: THE HARD WAY, ONE GOOD COP, RUSH
Though not limited to these themes, movies about cops have often explored not only how these cops enforce the law of this country, but what it means to do so.
Of course, not all cop films have to be serious - one of the earlier staples of screen comedy was the bumbling Keystone Kops.

 deseretnews.com - Movie review: One Good Cop | Deseret Morning News Web edition
There are many delightful elements in "One Good Cop" — gentle rapport between characters, little realistic details and warm touches of humanity, all of which lend depth that is too often missing from movies these days.
Those orphans, darling young girls — one with diabetes — give a warm, gentle anchor to the film, providing a storyline that takes "One Good Cop" out of the realm of the average action picture whenever they or their new parents are on screen together.
"One Good Cop" is rated R for considerable violence — though not nearly as much as in, say, "Out for Justice" — along with scattered profanities, drug abuse and some implied sex.

 Amazon.ca: Books: Good Cop, Bad Cop   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The good and bad cops of Barbara D'Amato's tough, tension-filled thriller are two brothers: Chicago police superintendent Nick Bertolucci and his disturbed brother Aldo, a jealous and vengeful patrolman.
What went on, as all the world knows, was a massacre of the its inhabitants, massaged by the police and the press to look like a gun battle--a real-life 1969 scandal that provides D'Amato with her novel's point of departure.
GOOD COP, BAD COP certainly brings back memories of Chicago (I live near) in the turbulent 60's.

 DVD.net : One Good Cop - DVD Review
