Review of Crown Vic (2019) by Netflic — 18 Nov 2019

The name of the movie refers to a car Ford Crown Victoria, famous for police patrolling.

So, the movie is about one night of LAPD patrol crew. The idea is far from being new.

There are many stereotypes in the script: it's a veteran policeman plus a rookie, and it's his first patrol shift.

Actually, there are almost all possible stereotypes there except two. One being they did not eat donuts (but that maybe because donut places were closed at night). Two: unlike in the majority of Hollywood films, police were not trigger-happy. I don't want to waste your time listing those which *were* in the movie.

There were so many co-incidents for one night that the script looked highly improbable to me. Performances were decent but nothing breath-taking.

Overall, the movie was not bad, quite watchable as a piece of entertainment.

Do not expect to be wow'ed.
