From the exciting opening until the sober but real ending. Crown Vic is a must see! Phenomenal writing and directing by Joel Souza and lead by an amazing Thomas Jane Luke Kleintank Josh Hopkins Bridget Moynahan Scottie Thompson and David Krumholtz. A cop movie for the ages.
I loved this movie. Contrary to what the critics have said, I found it mesmerizing. The kind of movie you can't look away from. Left me wanting more.
Very Underrated movie, go watch it
If you like cop movies, this one will do. It's about a grizzled LAPD vet (Thomas Jane) who is tasked with training a rookie (Luke Kleintank) who is on his first night on patrol. You're probably thinking "Training Day" knockoff, and you wouldn't be far from the truth. Yet, even though this film can't be considered original, it manages to hold its own. Jane is especially good. And we get to see Bridget Moynihan, whom we mostly think of as Erin Reagan, the straight, law and order ADA from 온라인카지노추천's "Blue Bloods," playing a scabrous, foul mouthed junkie. She overacts, of course. "Crown Vic" may not have anything new to offer, but it fulfills the genre expectations.
So much of it is typical, and regurgitated similar previous movies. And the production and casting decisions were just terrible, you don't believe anyone, including the great Thomas Jane, for who they're portraying. Some of the writing is just dumb too. But, the climax, although not that climactic, was some fun making it a tad worthy of the watch, just barely.
Nick Holland (Luke Kleintank) is a newly minted officer with the Los Angeles Police Department. In his first night shift, he is assigned to patrol the city with experienced policeman Ray Mandel (Thomas Jane). Ray and Nick are completely different personalities; while Nick is a down-to-earth, self-proclaimed world improver, Ray is a divorced pessimist with a penchant for breaking the rules and resorting to violence. In their shift, they are responsible for all kinds of incidents, from robberies to domestic unrest to car fires. They also try to find a girl who has been kidnapped by a group of drug traffickers, and at the same time, they chase two terroristic bank robbers wanted for murdering policemen... Rotten Tomatoes critics consensus reads, "Led by a solid turn from the well-cast Thomas Jane, Crown Vic gets an impressive amount of mileage out of its familiar cop thriller framework." Glenn Kenny of RogerEbert.com awarded the film 1.5 stars out of four, commenting, "Aside from a rock-solid performance by Thomas Jane as the grizzled cop, Crown Vic, which is named after the Ford model car that is the default of the LAPD black-and-white, has very little to offer the discriminating moviegoer." Movie Nation's Roger Moore gave the film two stars out of four, stating "Crown Vic is a grounded and gritty cops-on-the-night-shift melodrama built around a tightly coiled turn by Thomas Jane... Crown Vic isn't a bad picture. It's just too unexceptional to stand out." Rex Reed of Observer Media gave the film two stars out of four and said, "I never cease to wonder how some films manage to borrow, imitate, copy, or steal from older films without acknowledging or crediting the originals. A predictable, ho-hum police procedural called Crown Vic, about one night of violence and death with a veteran Los Angeles cop assigned to escort a rookie cop through the criminal underground while teaching him the ropes, is so close to the 2001 Training Day that it's practically a remake." Dennis Harvey of Variety noted, "That's a lot of narrative content, and Crown Vic varies in involvement and credibility as it juggles the more melodramatic aspects with the quasi-vérité ones. Still, it all works more often than not, thanks to the able lead performances and Souza's generally smooth handling." Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter stated, "The filmmaker displays a genuine flair for staging exciting action sequences, and the ever-reliable Jane delivers a solid lead performance, here tempering his natural machismo with a sympathetic, mournful quality. But there's just too much about Crown Vic that we haven't seen a thousand times before, to more impactful effect." We have seen this sort of film many times before, like "Colors", "End of Watch", "Training Day" etc. Movie Nation's Roger Moore stated "Crown Vic isn't a bad picture. It's just too unexceptional to stand out." which is my opinion as well. It´s well made, the acting ok, but "Crown Vic" is simply nothing new under the rainbow.
Crown Vic (Protect and Serve) '19 – Curious but Rough Ride If you're looking for a movie to convince you not to be an American policeman this is it. Unrelentingly downbeat all the way, this cynical ultra vicious movie continually goes for the worst in humanity - from a manic rogue cop (easily the worst possible example) to the drug destroyed wife of an ex-cop, to a little girl being held from her family for untold purposes, and rampaging cop killers, shooting up any that come their way, etc, etc, (all in a nights work) While it may give us a look into the dregs of society – it wallows in its negativity, failing to offer its audience any glimmer of hope (no wonder they stayed away) Performances are all good and the contrast between the young rookie and grizzled vet works most of the time but with an unrelenting barrage of hopelessness - wrapped up in a script by writer/director (Joel Souza) who, unfortunately, seems incapable of stringing sentences together without every other word being a vulgarity. While so-called ‘trendy' Hollywood types might speak like this it also assures it becomes tiresome for many others. At least it has a pounding, moody soundtrack. In the seventies, films like ‘The New Centurions' served this theme with some reasonable justice, and even though times have certainly changed, can it truly be as blatantly radical as we are being bludgeoned with here.
I worked closely with law enforcement and this movie was one of the more realistic. It takes special people to work this thankless job.
This was absolutely the worst movie I've ever seen! Baldwin I know hates the LAPD. I can't understand how they would let him put such trash on film!!!
Starts like a training day by night and ends up not as fresh but more visceral, gritty and straight in your face. Led by strong performances from Jane and the two fellows crazy cops the movie is fully immersive in an endless, hopeless night in LA suburbs. Pretty recommendable.
3.3 . Wasn’t the best but wasn’t bad .
A police procedural film that makes you think about your life so far and the life you want to lead. "There's a person you wanna be when you're young and there's the person you end up being. That's a hard reality to face." Yes, it's all been done before but the script is tight, the attention to detail is exquisite, the dialogue crisp, the action scenes are intense, and Thomas Jane is superb as Ray, the hardened veteran cop. The characters that inhabit this one long evening as a rookie cop takes his first patrol are well-sketched. Not all the plot-lines come together but that's also realistic. Some things get resolved, others remain up in the air. It's a B-grade film (with 5 stars) but listen closely and it will stick with you.
Gritty reality of cop life? Dirty cops and some scary scenes for a newbie cop (married with a preggo wife) and a vet that takes justice into his own hands.
Great movie. Many movies out with this idea, but I thought this movie was able to hold it's own. Recommend!
crime after crime with not much of a real story.
