Officer Downe (2016)

Terror Blurbs! Pt. 1 (An Ever-Expanding List) (100 movies items)

"Plot: A cop is repeatedly brought back to life to bring down vile criminals and the syndicate running the city. Mixing elements of macho cinema, exploitation, camp, and horror, "Officer Downe" should of been a shoe-in for a fun time. Alas, despite a dedicated performance from Kim Coates as the titular officer, the film falls into a rut of repetitive gags that show very little versatility outside of blood or irreverence. For something jam-packed with eccentric elements it feels oddly flat and so"

"The awful editing ruined the movie for me. But there were some funny and enjoyable moments too."

“So I didn't know much before I watched this. I didn't even know this was based on a graphic novel. It's directed by Shawn Crahan who is a member of Slipknot. Joe Casey also wrote Big Hero 6. It has a few good actors and then others that weren't so much. Shawn Crahan plays a role in the plot as well with three other members of Slipknot throughout. This reminded me of Maniac Cop, Dredd, and even Robocop. It doesn't take itself seriously and neither did I. The chaotic over the top was funny, but at times it got a little too annoying. I would have liked if there was like a montage of deaths of Officer Downe considering the storyline. Instead it mostly focused on the rookie cop who was even near as entertaining.

"8.2. Joskus sitä jopa ehtii katsoa elokuvan. Aivot jumittavat, joten ajattelin, että Officer Downe on sopivan hyvää kamaa tähän tilaan. En ollut täysin väärässä, koska Slipknotin pellen ohjaama niin sanottu roskaelokuva, on ihan siedettävä ajoittain. Toiminta on toki rumaa kameran heiluttelua ja salamaleikkausta. Hommassa on kuitenkin jotain päättömyyttä ja hahmojen hölmöily sekä verellä läträäminen ovat kiva lisä. Kokonaisuus käy silti valitettavan paljon tyhjällä, "

"So, it's basically about a Robocop/Dredd hybrid, if he were one of the Village People. Can he do "Macho Man" or "YMCA"?"
