Meet the dirtiest cop in NYC history. Michael Dowd stole money and dealt drugs while patrolling the streets of 80s Brooklyn.
Told in a rush of talking heads and archive footage, this is a siren-flash of a film, charged up in the edit like a true-crime GoodFellas.
Verdict: Real-life Goodfellas.
A fascinating documentary about two cops pursuing a cocaine-fuelled career of corruption and complicity with druglords in 80s New York.
Exhilarating trip to the rotten side of the Big Apple.
It's a fun story. It's true, you know.
