If you’re looking for a gritty, suspenseful cop movie, you can’t go wrong with CROWN VIC.
Thomas Jane as Ray Mandel is completely believable as the grizzled veteran cop who returns to duty after a shoot-out which he survived but his partner didn’t.
I become more impressed each time I see Mr. Jane in a movie. He melds with the character and becomes that character much as Meryl Streep does with the characters she portrays. He reminds me much of the uber talented Gene Hackman.
BLURB
During one night on patrol in Los Angeles, veteran cop (Thomas Jane) and the rookie he’s training (Luke Kleintank) chase violent suspects, search for a missing girl, deal with rogue cops—who should be in prison themselves—and hunt two cop killers.
CAST
In addition to Thomas Jane as Ray Mandel, and Luke Kleintank as Nick Holland, memorable performances were given by Bridget Moynahan as addict Tracy Peters in a departure from the “good girl” she plays on Blue Bloods, David Krumholtz as bent cop Stroke Adams, Josh Hopkins as totally bad cop Jack VanZandt, and Bernard David Jones as Rondelle.
MY 2¢
I found the film engrossing and was on the edge of my seat wondering what bad thing was going to happen to a cop who’s been on the job more than twenty years and still wants to do a decent job as a cop and a human being.
Sometimes the big blue wall is tough to stand up against, and it’s obvious Ray Mandel knows this and tries to tread a fine line while still keeping his soul.
Excellent film. I know some reviewers said there wasn’t much new or cutting edge to this movie, but I disagree. Maybe I don’t watch many down and dirty, gritty films like this, but I found it very watchable. If you’re looking for a suspenseful movie that holds your interest, I recommend Crown Vic.
