Viewing Notes

ACAB

Rookie cop finds some hidden money during an apartment siege “asedio” that leads to all sorts of bad shit for our female protagonist. Film could’ve played at FF* and definitely would’ve played at Chicago IFF (and probably Denver FF). Crazy this is showing at Promenade but probably not doing well (mine was a private screening).

During the movie I thought the low ratings were from blue lives matter / pro-cop ppl then I realized they wouldn’t bother watching this movie. But when the end happens the middling ratings made more sense. I’m sure a lot off ppl were unhappy. I don’t mind that kind of ending so all of this worked for me and was pretty cool to see the journey she takes during the film.

* Kidnapped (2010) by the same director did play at FF
