Le policier

The thankless job of the Policeman. Dealing with the multiple types of terrorists in the world. Here, kids who hate the fathers and let their anti-authoritarian views lead them to tragic violence. Good showing of selfish and deranged view of leftist revolutionaries.

While the story may not be realistic, this film portrays in an effective way a conflict that is gnawing at Israeli society, nay, at its soul, from the inside. There is some very good and some not so good acting, but what sets the movie apart is its masterful cinematography. The sense of place and situation reveal a rare directorial talent. In his youth Lapid moved to France, fleeing the very unbearable intensity that now feeds his art. Good he's back. Israel needs the talent and vision of an artist like him.

Simply: a movie that did not make any sense. Poorly written.

First at all, I can't believe that so many people gave this movie so high score. Some good actors,like Menashe Noy or Mushonov Junior, but many bad interpretations. The Police main role its not credible.

This movie is a waste of time. The direction is terrible; no direction. No clear message, confuse and that don't reflect the reality of Israel. The figures are not representatives and the script seems that was written by a teenager that wanna be a writer; common places, disconnection of the situations and no poetry at all. Don't find nor an aesthetic line.

After watching the very good film "footnotes", this movie is a deception.

My wife and I are Americans who are very keen on Israeli movies and tv series. You might even accuse us of having a positive bias. We watched with subtitles, so please consider. This one was a dog. It consisted of two essentially parallel or even separate stories that came together only at the end, and mechanically at that. The film was compromised by loose ends, cliches, very weak writing and weak dialogue. Of all the characters/actors, one was interesting, but not likeable. A minor plus - you will get to see actors who later had larger, better roles in Shtisel and Fauda. But you'd better not blink for one of them!
