Officer Downe

It's gory, corny, campy fun so if you're expecting something that's intended to be taken seriously you're watching the wrong movie.If you like B-movies you'll probably like this.

Very weird, but it seemed all purposeful and coherent. Maybe except the way how the tension was handled: wasn't much different from most movies, but something felt off. Somewhat anticlimactic, despite many climaxes indeed. It's a very healthy mixture of cliché behavior leading to deconstructive results. I like when a movie can surprise me. This was disruptive of what other movies trained me to expect. It was stupid and gory, but not grim. One more surprise here, as recent productions just have to be dark and gritty. This is like Dredd (2012), except that it's not some of the characters being on drugs, it's the movie makers. Really reminds me of Planet Terror (2007).

This film was totally trash, in a good way, so your wondering why only four out of ten, well the film's impact didn't last for the whole movie. The first hour was great. Great pace, great humour and action sequences, nudity and tons of bad language but it just seems that they had rum out of steam before the end credits. If you like your movies loud, foul and big then you will love this movie. Okay you will have to switch your mind off and just enjoy the over the top film in all it's glory. Even big breasted mother supreme gets a look in, shame we didn't see more of her. If a second one came out I would watch it. Enjoy the movie for what it is.

Officer Downe has got blood, gore, sex, nudity, flailing limbs, foxy nuns with automatic weaponry, an action sequence done to "Everybody Wants You" (with blows being synced to drum beats), AND an undead cop. One thing that's missing is, oh, I don't know, a STORY?

Criminals want to kill Officer Downe, only he can't be killed. Is that a story? Someone really dropped the ball on this. I see the guy who wrote the comic also did the screenplay.

The only reason this movie gets any attention (besides its star) is the fact that one of the guys from Slipknot directed it. Keep your day job! (Or at least get a better screenplay). And where did they get the rookie cop, some kid off the street? Holy crap, talk about unconvincing. The entire final act is laughable. I'm giving this four stars because parts of it (padded by long stretches of inanity) are bonkers.

first off, this is way better than 4.6 average score. if you're into grind-house, over-the-top-violence, b-movies and/or heavy metal music, this is right up your alley. and yeah, there is some stuff which is really silly, but hey, it works within the film and for me, so, I'm okay with that. for sure, it's not for everyone, hence the bad score, but if you enjoy "Hobo with a Shotgun" or "Fathers Day" or any Troma release, go for this one.
