The explosive true story of America's most corrupt police unit, the Gun Trace Task Force, which terrorized the city of Baltimore for a half-decade. Based on the acclaimed book of the same name, this documentary takes viewers around every twist and turn of a real-life cat-and-mouse game where cops are also robbers and those meant to protect our safety turn out to be the ones jeopardizing it.

The documentary can feel a little scattered due to its multiple angles, but it remains a fascinating and relevant tale, examining how any criminal justice system built around the idea that cops never lie is ripe for abuse.

3/4

The film leaves room for at least a shred of optimism. As long as there are people willing to work toward justice, all hope is not lost.

I Got a Monster shines a light on how systemic abuses of power are left unchecked and often allowed to proliferate, but it’s a tough watch in many ways because it’s clear that there are plenty of similar stories happening right now that aren’t being told.

A blaring siren as to what can happen when any one group is given blanket immunity to protect and to serve.
