2/5
The clumsiness of the storytelling, presumably unintentional, is almost entertaining in itself but only if basically inept film-making is your idea of fun. Go to Full Review

German director Uwe Boll has the distinction of being one of the world's worst filmmakers yet nevertheless manages to make movies that are oddly watchable. Go to Full Review

The rest of the movie isn't particularly good, and many of its moving plot threads don't go anywhere. In fact, this entire 89-minute picture can be summed up as patient worldbuilding... Go to Full Review

Plays like it was made by aliens studying the concept of the buddy-cop movie. Go to Full Review

0.5/4
Even with something as simple as a cop drama ... writer/director Uwe Boll doesn't seem to comprehend the basics of storytelling. Go to Full Review
Robert Kojder Flickering Myth 08/28/2024
0.5/5
A nihilistic, copaganda exercise that is somehow flat in its relentlessness. It also goes out of its way to reinforce its belief that negative stereotypes are mostly accurate, complete with a childish tirade against woke culture Go to Full Review

Alan M Dec 2 I clumsy crime drama / comedy ? Screaming to be a series The overlapping "plots" were poorly written The saving graces were the 2 protagonists that were likable See more Jessie B Oct 14 This movie is poorly written and directed, it would make a good series ( like the rookie) and it was almost as if they took a series premise and tried to throw all the stories in to a movie. Just haphazardly at best. See more Bob J Oct 13 Holy crap was this a bad movie.... it went absolutely nowhere slowly. No plot, poor story, bounced around. Absolutely crap. See more Chris B Jul 1 Absolute rubbish that went nowhere See more Tom B Jun 27 It's a cop show about nothing. That's the appeal. It plays more like an episode in a series than a movie. There's typical partner stuff. There's a little crime, good new york scenery - if you like new york, and a dog. Overall, quite easy to watch. I could watch a little more. See more Hillary C May 3 First Shift was your standard cop movie, and it included standard cop stereotypes, so nothing to write home about - although the actors were quite convincing in their own right. With that being said, it was still just as addicting as with the hundreds of other basic cop movies/shows; but, dare I say once in awhile ‘basic’ can be underrated…and although this might be a stretch, I wouldn’t say no to watching a sequel 🤓🤷🏼‍♀️ See more Read all reviews
