Audience Member Pensive study of one man's journey takes on a bit too much for its short running time. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review walter m "Police Beat" is a slight but somewhat compelling slice of life movie with a little stream of consciousness thrown in for good measure. Z.(Pape Sidy Niang) is a recent immigrant from Senegal who works as a bicycle cop in Seattle while dreaming of owning an apartment building. While devoutly religious, he really has no faith in his girlfriend Rachel(Anna Oxygen) who has gone camping with her roommate Jeff(Elijah Geiger) because Z. hates camping. Instead, they have agreed to go lindy dancing, presumably when she gets back. Part of Z.'s concerns about his relationship with Rachel arise from what he witnesses on the job, a good deal of which involve misdemeanors of varying perversity.(As the epigraph says, they are based on true cases. Why am I not surprised?) Separately, they are no big deal. Together, they might form a disturbing pattern for an outsider, especially considering Z's partner Swan(Eric Breedlove) being involved with Mary(Sarah Harlett), a prostitute, while others might form a different opinion of Z. just based on the color of his skin or his uniform.

Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Amazingly compelling and remarkable sad. Beautifully done all around. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Great cinematography. Attempts to make Seattle both the objective accounts of the police reports it takes its story from, as well as the subjective playground for its protagonist. The problem is, there's not much more to it than that.
