Title: Prepare to be preached to
Review: The promo material of the Editorial Review puts forth an excellent premice. Jaded, unsympathetic cop is forced to 'see things from a different perspective after a brutal attack". The basic idea was good enough to make me buy the dvd. Too bad the movie did not follow through.The opening was so stereotypical that my first thought was "Uh oh -another bad cop show". But it was more than that. It was a bad cop show with a message. And the viewer was bashed over the head with that message for the entire film. And just in case the lack of subtlety in the script or the over acting of the traumatized hero does not drive home that message, the scriptwriter summed it all up in two sentences at the end of the film. Which left this viewer rushing for the off button screaming "I got it already".The premise was good - the movie was not.
Is the review positive or negative?
