Review of Officer Downe (2016)

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. The Zen Master Flash stuff was a bit too silly and felt too dated. It could have been more fun, but they didn't even seem to care for this as a whole. Exploitation films are supposed to be silly, but this just didn't quite make the cut.
