Not your typical crime story! Based on actual police reports, this critically-acclaimed film follows "Z," a rookie bicycle cop in Seattle, as he investigates a series of quirky crimes. A new West African immigrant separated from his girlfriend, Z views all his cases through the eyes of a heartbroken outsider. ... The city's many outrageous and offbeat crimes become a surreal reflection of Z's disorientation and pain. Ride along on this intense emotional journey through the urban jungle in this lyrical spin on the Police Beat.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and haunting, February 4, 2008
By 
ShadyG (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Police Beat (DVD)
I enjoyed this movie. It may help that I live in Seattle where it was filmed. It's a dark and beautifully filmed love story of sorts. It's a love story told to the backdrop of ACTUAL police incidents. The writer of the film writes a column called "Police Beat" in the weekly publication "The Stranger" hear in Seattle. This is not a action or fast paced movie. It is more poetic in nature. Enjoy.
