DIRTY COPS
0 films in this collection
A SEASON OF LAW AND DISORDER
The badge is supposed to separate the cops from the crooks. DIRTY COPS is devoted to films where that thin blue line gets blurred, and all cops are bastards.
Corruption, brutality, blackmail, dirty money, hard drinking and bad intentions run through a strain of crime cinema in which the law is less a moral force than another racket. These are underseen movies of cops on the take, cops coming apart and cops crossing lines.
From grimy precinct rooms and rain slicked city streets to narcotics busts, protection rackets and deals made in the shadows, DIRTY COPS explores the particularly nasty pleasures of police cinema once law and order have gone sour. Hardboiled, morally murky and often savagely cynical, these are films where everybody has a price, authority is dangerous and doing the right thing may be the quickest way to get killed.
