Jerod S @jeroduptown Jun 16, 2026 It's some wild dirty cop years - but compared to documentaries that have a plethora of photos and videos to go along - this one plods for me. See more stoner j @Stoner Sep 12, 2022 The most thrilling documentary I've ever seen. Dowd takes you on an unbelievable journey through his dirty cop years. It's like watching goodfellas! See more Aug 20, 2021 This staggering documentary depicts and delves into the 75th police precinct in New York, which serves the eastern portion of Brooklyn, during the 1980's. Buckling under a narcotics epidemic at the time, cop Michael Dowd, "a crook in a cops uniform", tells his own tale along with members of his crew in an unyielding and frankly astounding tale of corruption. What makes the tale all the more incredible is being able to see a seemingly unremorseful Dowd retell it for us, years after he has served time for his crimes. Compelling and gripping, this is a real eye opener.

May be karma gets him by the end of the movie, but I won't stick around to find out. This ex-cop is a total piece of shit.

Scenes were well edited and stories were larger-than-life. Yet, this is not ground-breaking in its genre or present anything new. The documentary did not resonate well with me long after watching. 3.5/5. 4/5 on a good day. Though a good documentary. I cannot honestly give a higher rating. See more Aug 31, 2017 The wife and I gave this a spin via TiVo recording, and it was a pretty fascinating look at the corruption in the 75th Precinct of NYC circa the mid '80s. The cops involved all seem to be there to narrate things, even those that did tie for their misdeeds, and more than one seems to be more bragging about this shit than apologetic, so it makes for really interesting viewing. Well worth a look, recommended. See more Read all reviews
