POLICE, ADJECTIVE
January 2nd, 2010
POLICE, ADJECTIVE- 2009. Premise by Netflix. “Undercover cop Cristi (Dragos Bucur) trails suspected pot dealer Victor (Radu Costin) through the decrepit streets of Vasliu, but when he learns that the suspect is just a teen who sometimes gets high with his pals, he refuses to make an arrest. Unfortunately, Cristi’s boss (Ioan Stoica) isn’t quite as forgiving. The Romanian New Wave rolls on strongly with this complex drama from writer-director Corneliu Porumboiu.”
1/10- I found this movie to be incredibly boring. The “climax” of the movie is when the cop’s superior chews him out for not following his orders, except he lectures him with the use of a dictionary. The movie spent loads of time on the most mundane of chores, like eating alone, and perhaps that was what the author was trying to show, the mundane life in post Communism Romania. Despite a very good review from A.O. Scott of the NY Times, I’d miss it. Comcast On-Demand. 12/09
