    Avoid at All Costs

    I had been eagerly anticipating this movie, drawn in by the intriguing premise and the promise of an engaging story. Sadly, it fell short of my expectations in every aspect. The plot lacked depth and failed to explore the potential complexities of the subject matter. It felt like a missed opportunity to tackle important themes and offer meaningful insights.

    The performances were lackluster, with the cast delivering uninspired portrayals of their characters. There was a distinct lack of chemistry between the actors, making it difficult to invest emotionally in their journey. I found myself detached from the story, unable to connect with the struggles and triumphs of the protagonists.

    One of the biggest flaws was the pacing. The movie dragged on, with unnecessary scenes that added little to the overall narrative. It felt like the story was being stretched thin, resulting in a meandering and disjointed viewing experience. Tighter editing could have helped maintain a sense of momentum and keep the audience engaged.

    Furthermore, the film suffered from technical shortcomings. The cinematography was unremarkable, failing to capture the essence of key moments. The visual presentation felt generic and uninspired. Additionally, the sound design was uneven, with dialogue at times being drowned out by the background music.

    Overall, this movie was a disappointment on every level. From the underdeveloped plot to the lackluster performances and technical flaws, it failed to deliver a satisfying cinematic experience. I left the theater feeling unsatisfied and wishing I had chosen a different film to watch. Save yourself the disappointment and seek out a more captivating movie.

    Must watch!

    American justice system is a total disgrace if you didn't know this documentary is made in USA it could easily be about a rogue police officer in Iran or somewhere in Mexico! Unbelievable astonishing eye-opening and it shows how Richard you have to be and you have to stand your ground when you're dealing with police force. The fact that four of these officers were black harming black community in Baltimore is unreal!

    Anyone who romanticize police forces and how fair this justice system is should watch this documentary alongside many many others to realize what is really happening in the police forces this is the one who has been caught and God knows how many more are out there.

    Complete waste of time

    "I Got a Monster" was a highly disappointing documentary that promised to delve into a fascinating and complex story of police corruption, but instead delivered a sensationalized and shallow portrayal of events. While the subject matter is undoubtedly important, the filmmakers seemed more interested in exploiting it for entertainment value rather than providing any meaningful insights or perspectives.

    The pacing of the documentary was slow and tedious, with long stretches of talking head interviews that failed to offer any new or interesting information. The editing was choppy and disjointed, making it difficult to follow the timeline of events and keep track of the various players involved. The music was also poorly chosen and often intrusive, adding to the overall sense of disjointedness.

    Perhaps most frustratingly, the documentary lacked any real depth or nuance in its exploration of the issues at hand. The filmmakers seemed content to present a one-sided and simplified version of events, failing to engage with the complexities and gray areas of the story. The result was a film that felt shallow and unsatisfying, failing to do justice to the importance and complexity of the subject matter.

    Overall, I would not recommend "I Got a Monster" to anyone looking for a thoughtful and well-made documentary. While the story of police corruption is undoubtedly an important one, this film fails to offer anything new or meaningful to the conversation. Instead, it comes across as a cheap attempt at exploitation, more interested in entertainment value than in truly grappling with the issues at hand.

    Shocking account of police terrorism directed against completely innocent Baltimore citizens

    In Baltimore, USA, SEVEN COPS WERE JAILED for up to 20 years for terrorizing innoncent citizens. These rogue cops lied, stole, jailed and brutalized totally innocent citizens.

    This documentary focusses on the criminal conduct of 1 rogue cop in particular, who even had been awarded in the recent past, for making so many drugs and weapons busts, but he made those many drug busts illegally, because he planted guns or drugs, in order for him to be able to jail MORE Baltimore citizens, which would look good on his record of being a crimefighter.

    Just driving your car in Baltimore could make you end up in jail if you were so unlucky to encounter this criminal team of 7 rogue cops. Insane.

    15 million dollars (up until now) were already paid to the victims by the Baltimore county for damages. Justice was served in the end, because the rogue cops all got jailed for decades.

    But it remains somewhat of a sobering truth that it took more than 10 years of this criminal conduct before someone took action against these officers. And how many other similar cases are going on right now in other cities in the USA?
