Officer Down [2013]
It’s a flashback within a flashback that flashes back to the original flashback…got it? I didn’t.
Film #029 of 2013
Director: Brian A. Miller Cast: Stephen Dorff [Callahan], Dominic Purcell [Royce] & James Woods [Verona]
Plot: When a cop’s crooked past comes back to get him, can he do the right thing, or will he succumb to the threats of his dangerous connections? Source IMDB.com
Hipster Review: Its confusing airless script wasn’t nearly as bad as the directors inept usage of countless flashbacks…Officer Down is a terrifying waste of time that appeals to the lowest possible tastes and quite possibly the lowest level of humankind. Watched January 25th, 2013.
^^ This is how I felt throughout the entire movie. filmhipster
Negatives:
- One of the worst soundtracks you’ll ever hear - Prophetic & Rhea Dummett?
- Juiced up Dominic Purcell’s sleazy mustache and goatee
- You’ll have no clue what’s going on 99.9% of the time, the story is all over the place
- Corny Russian mobsters and strippers
- The dudes from Avatar and Bones are in it, horrible actors
Biggest Surprise: Director Brian A. Miller was given 12 million and this is the turd he comes up with?
Biggest Let Down: Everything.
Does the guy get the hot girl in the end? Didn’t make it to the end, I’m guessing yes.
Oscar Potential? lol
Similar to: House of the Rising Sun [2011], The Expatriate [2012].

Well, it sounds pretty bad. I’ll be sure not to see this one.
That’s wise, it’s horrible and you’re better off not putting yourself through the torture.
^^ This is how I felt throughout the entire movie. filmhipster HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Have you ever watched a film that was so bad, it actually made you physically ill? I have – it was called 5 ACROSS THE EYES (reviewed on my site) T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E!!!!
Oh, I just read your review on that. Eeks.
Yikes! That bad,eh? Physically ill and crying? I have never heard of this movie before you reviewed it..but I will be avoiding it..haha!
It just came out…avoid it like a plague. Unless you need a good cry, then watch it.
I’m not exactly sure its the type of crying I’m looking for..haha!
It’s a depressing ‘make it end’ kind of crying yeah!
