      Audience Member Where can I stream this movie? Can’t find it anywhere. Fan of the two leads, Bill Dawes and Bill Sage Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/18/21 Full Review Audience Member Not much action in this film just two ordinary cops doing their daily routine and the kooks and criminals they meet in a day's work. Good, watchable character study. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Better than I was expecting. The actors develop their opposite characters nicely and their interation with opposing viewpoints is interesting. They are very real characters. The film seems just a series of various stories strung together by the two main leads, but the last 1/4 of the film pulls it all together nicely. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Not as good as the description on the back of the DVD case Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member This gentle, unhurried, and richly observed character piece remains surprisingly true to itself and doesn't resort to sentimentality. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a great "drink beer and watch a movie" flick. Good quality acting, touching moment, and humor. Makes you want to be "one of those cops" Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
