Barry Hertz Globe and Mail Tilting between social satire and pitch-black drama with unnerving ease, Cory Bowles's feature debut Black Cop is an intriguing high-wire act. Rated: 3/4 Jun 1, 2018 Full Review Peter Howell Toronto Star Bowles expands an earlier short into an engrossing and uncompromising feature debut... Rated: 3/4 May 31, 2018 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse A nervy movie that entertainingly tackles serious subjects head on. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 28, 2021 Full Review Andrea Thompson Cultured Vultures Some of the symbolism and satire is a bit clunky or far too on-the-nose, but mostly Black Cop shows us the tragic fall of a man who hits his breaking point and becomes determined to similarly break the community he's sworn to protect. Rated: 8/10 Jan 30, 2019 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies Cory Bowles uses unapologetic satire to explore the racial tensions within the police force and communities. Jun 10, 2018 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a seriously striking yet ultimately unsuccessful debut effort from a promising new filmmaker. Rated: 2/4 Jun 8, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

mark g 83% fresh? This was awful. No part of this movie was good, not the directing, acting, script...it was bad. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/06/25 Full Review Audience Member A pointless movie that went nowhere, and the ride to get there was dull and slow. Sure, there were a couple of crazy moments....maybe 5 interesting minutes out of the whole movie. Don't waste your time...there is nothing to get out of this movie besides the feeling it has just wasted your time. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review ronald h The simplistic explanation of this movie is that it's a reverse racist treatise in which a black cop profiles and abuses white people who have committed no crimes. Taken as satire, that in itself is actually pretty funny. But in spite of some humorous moments, _Black Cop_ is not a comedy or a satire. It's serious as a heart attack. It's really about a black man who is losing his sanity as a result of systemic racism. Filmmaker Cory Bowles does not take sides or expect us to sympathize with the cop (played ferociously by Ronnie Rowe). He is simply showing us how poisonous racism is and what it can do to our heads. It's a shame that indie movies like this never make it into the mainstream theaters. _Black Cop_ deserves a wide audience. A bold film, highly recommended. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Great look through the opposite view. This was a good concept! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Movie shows the implicit bias of whites when dealing with blacks and the position of entitlement and liberty they have with law enforcement.. as opposed to their black counterparts.. nothing he did was good, but it was fair.. I loved it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Acting was good and seemed to match documentary style filmed. I got the plot and then it was a little slow moving then it hits ya. Def uncomfortable at times when slpped in the faec with the double standard. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
