A soap opera
12 January 2013
Great title for the book and subsequent film . Is the film entertaining?. No, not in the least. Yes these guys are tough - always impartial and honest , of course not and yet as of many police forces world wide are used by politicians like a football. So the scene is set, a young rookie for ostensibly financial reasons joins an experienced hard core riot squad. Then virtually the whole movie gets bogged down in the protagonists domestic lives and all the trials and tribulations that entails. What a snooze fest. Isn't that what soap operas are for.

I personally don't feel the need to launch into some half baked political diatribe but clearly racial disharmony is a thread binding the film together with a couple of scenes attempting feebly to mimic American History X. ACAB is over-hyped and boring. Criminal.
