    Decent tension and ominous visuals with a story that devolves rapidly with lack of realism and ridiculously heavy handed forced social commentary.

    The film starts out with an interesting enough story albeit with a cliche attempt at biased social commentary. The creepiness and tension is effective early on, but as everything starts coming together it became very predictable. The ending is completely ludicrous and unrealistic and throws the entire film off the rails in ridiculousness. While I will give the film's visual ambitions with creative photography and the decent effects some credit, I can't help but say this was a mediocre film overall. The acting was also fairly mediocre and I never really could take the characters seriously. Another case of a revenge thriller/horror where the social undertones are way too heavy handed to the point where the realism is thrown out the window to fit the director's biased vision.

    Running through abandoned buildings alone with a flashlight.

    Stealing a trope from the original X files, many of the scenes are filmed at night, in a variety of abandoned buildings which are constructed as mazes by the protagonist.

    An angry ghost movie. No other explanation is needed. As a well trained senior officer she is a wild card who commits various felonies as she moves through the movie.

    Worth a watch if you don't expect more than a little ultra violence filmed in dark spaces.

    Revenge

    With a title like that and police uniforms on the cover/poster, I do think most can sort of guess where this goes. I did not expect the horror/supernatural elements to this though. I guess you can either say or feel that elevates the movie or you may feel the opposite about it. And while I am a real big fan of Mary J Blige as a singer, I cannot entirely say the same about her as an actress.

    Not that she is on a Steven Seagal level, I just think he is a way better singer. On the other hand, she may also still be better than Beyonce at acting, so there is that ... but don't take it from me and believe me that this is still more than rock solid. Cliches and at least a certain predictability aside, this can be suspensful from start to finish ...

    Body Cam

    I think this non pretentious B-horror movie is quite good. If you loved movies like Mothman prophecies and Black and Blue this one is for you. As a B-movie horror fan, I have to say this one has the usual flaws like the script and acting, but on the other hand the execution of the story is pretty well done and some murder scenes are A+. Also, FX's are pretty decent. So, overall good entertainment during the quarentine if you're looking for some decent horror cop thriller.

    Very watchable but don't expect great performances

    I had no idea what this film was about when I started watching, but as the story unfurled I began to enjoy it. The acting isn't fantastic, and sadly Mary J Blige in the lead role was one of the weakest performances in the film.

    Also sometimes the pace of movement was very deliberate instead of normal and this dissipated the air of unease that they were trying to build up.

    The score was ok, it could have been great, but was also underpaced.

    All in all I enjoyed watching it, for the decent scenes, good cinematography and good story. But I placed it at a 4 because the acting let it down as did small parts of the dialogue.

    • Trivia
      Released right around the time of the Black Lives Matter protests during summer 2020, which boosted the film's profile and sales. The BLM protests addressed the death of a Black man, George Floyd, at the hands of police. Body Cam is about a young Black boy who was also killed by police.
    • Goofs
      When officer Renee tries to unlock the phone she took from the scene, while at the morgue, she uses the dead man's fingers on the front of the phone. The phone had a rear fingerprint reader so unlocking the phone on the screen is useless.
