Some of the symbolism and satire is a bit clunky or far too on-the-nose, but mostly Black Cop shows us the tragic fall of a man who hits his breaking point and becomes determined to similarly break the community he's sworn to protect. Jan 29, 2019 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…

[Ronnie] Rowe's performance is one incrementally furious thread of reaction-whether he feels guilt or remorse is up to you-while scenes of direct camera address allow glances of his fury. Jun 7, 2018 | Full Review…

Rowe simmers with enough subtlety that his sudden outbreaks of violence seem to burst from somewhere deep. And the almost absurd unlikeliness of the "white profiling" is disturbing when you stop to think of the ordinariness of the reverse. May 31, 2018 | Rating: A-minus | Full Review…

Bowles does a fantastic job of intercutting real footage into some scenes that spark a visceral reaction and shapes the film's narrative to remind you that these moments are very real. Sep 9, 2017 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review…
