Nea Vasile This is not a movie, is a waste of time. The dialogs and the acting is good for a primate, not for a decent human being. Please if you have anything else to do, just skip this so called movie, highly overrated by "romanian movie fans", mostly soap opera movie lovers. Just not worth it. The film plot is non existing, storyline is not a real storyline. The director simply doesn't know how to stop shooting and when enough is really enough. As someone else says, this film doesn't have any visual nudity. I really don't know why people are trying to make such movies these days, what's the point of delivering a movie who doesn't deliver anything?
stensson The Romanian film wonder goes on and what's wonderous about it is that it's not afraid of life, like most movies around the world are. Since the beginning of the 1900s, there's an agreement about that life being absolutely boring. Lucky thing you can cut the film.But here, we follow the young policeman on a routine mission, trying to investigate a supposed drug crime. The camera goes on for ten minutes, nothing happens or more likely...everything happens. What's morality about. Following the law or following your conscience? Or is it the same thing? Or should it be? An action drama there the action takes place inside the characters and the viewers. And that's absolutely fair enough.
druid333-2 Hey gang...are you in the mood for a cop thriller with loads & loads of one car chase scene after another,enough stuff being blown up,real good,ditzy mindless blonde's with size 40 hooters parading around practically nude through out most of the film,as well as lots & lots of bloody,graphic scenes of people having their heads blown off with double barrel shotguns (at point blank range)? Well if you are...do yourself a favour and avoid 'Police,Adjective' like the plague. That aside, 'Police,Adjective' is a drama with some comedic touches from Romania that goes for the brain,instead of the testosterone fueled quarter oz.excuse of functional gray matter (and you know who you are). The story here concerns a plainclothes detective,Cristi (played to perfection by Dragos Bucur),who is on assignment to shadow a potential drug pusher,who is a high school student,to be set up for a drug sting. Problem is,Cristi has nagging doubts that this boy is truly guilty & objects to said such sting. Throughout his working day, Cristi has to deal with un-cooperative co workers,as well as his wife, Anca (Irina Saulescu),who has a penchant for turgid Romanian pop songs (she plays the same banal video over & over again on You Tube,while Cristi tries to enjoy his supper). For me,the (obviously)high points of this film concerns the occasional diatribes between Cristi & his co workers,replete with semantics (had this film been directed by the likes of Quentin Tarrentino,they would have droning on about American pop culture of the 1970's---thank goodness it wasn't). Corneliu Porumbiou ('12:08 East of Bucharest')writes & directs this low key police drama with more than a dash of brains going for it. The rest of the cast turn in equally fine roles. A director that is worth keeping an eye out for. Spoken in Romanian with English subtitles. Not rated by the MPAA,this film has a few drug related references,but ABSOLUTELY no nudity,sexual content,violence or pervasive strong language
freedfiles I have an adjective for this film: it starts with "sh" and ends with "itty". I would've preferred watching my hair grow. Absolutely nothing happens in the ENTIRE FILM. I'm not kidding. I don't expect nonstop action in police movies. I do however, expect a semblance of character development and story. After the first hour I'm convinced I fell into a trance. I watched it on pay per view so I'm pretty P.O'd that I couldn't walk out of the theater and demand a refund. Also, I'm sick of those people who say that the average American doesn't have the temperament for foreign films. That may be true in some cases but this movie would bore the heck out of anything with a pulse.
