OFFICER DOWN tells the chronicling story of four police officers who suffer from Survivor's Guilt. The main character, Becky Rooks, has battled with a lifetime of personal demons and working as a police officer helps trigger old wounds to resurface. Doing the job has given her a false sense of invincibility, but still it is the one and only area of her life where she feels that she's in control. However Becky experiences a loss of control during a routine traffic stop where she is assaulted and her life is spared because instead of fighting back she decided to play possum. With her sense of security removed she joins an online predator team to help protect those who don't know that they are being hunted. For each life that she helps save, it sends her further down a path of self destructive behavior. Even when she's forced to seek help she can't come to terms with why her attacker didn't pull the trigger that night, as she sees her second chance at life not as a gift but as a burden.

| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfIt doesn't quite achieve its plan for a psychological breakdown, but the effort is appreciated, even in a feature as messy as this one. |
| The National (UAE)James Luxfordthese former A-listers deserve a better film to ply their trade in than this sloppy thriller-by-numbers |
| Los Angeles TimesMark OlsenIt's really just an overstuffed story that comes off not as layered but rather as an unfocused jumble. |

| User ReviewNavQStoryline: An alcoholic cop Detective Callahan (no, not that one) has trouble sleeping and suffers from flashbacks (a lot of flashbacks) because of a near fatal shooting he was involved with. He's having trouble with his wife and daughter, also he has a thing about rapists. A man gives him a diary and after reading the sad tale told within he starts to look for bad guys. Acting: This has an amazing cast, but no one is trying hard in this film which might have helped. Anyhoo Stephen Dorff does an able job and is pretty convincing as the struggling detective as has a go at doing the 'cop with issues' gig. James Woods (why doesn't he have an Oscar??) pops in and out with his usual presence but I think he's there to add weight and balance out the effect of having a bad script. Stephen Lang (Avatar) and the very talented AnnaLynne McCord (Excision)perhaps gave the best performances. Tommy Flanagan (he's from my home town) has a very small role and I try to see a film if he's in it. Direction: Brian A Miller looks like he was handed a week script, a small budget and while the cast are all very good actors they are clearly miscast so it was never really going to be great in his hands. Production: I really hated the editing I mean, I'm not an expert but It's bad when I can actually tell because it messed up the pacing badly. It only cost $12 million and that fact gives it kudos because the director overcame and still knocked out an acceptable movie Conclusion: A cop thriller that's trying so hard to be a lot better than it is but I liked it. It felt a bit diluted in the script department but hey, it was cheap. |
| User ReviewIndra WA movie about people who forgot how to talk and choosing the right word to say. While doing so may save lives. The plot is clever but they will not happen if people just talk. So, this is another stupid movie. |
