When the lack of new police recruits becomes serious it is decided that cadets will no longer have to meet the standards previously required for entry. The city streets are about to run riot with no hopers…..who've got a badge, a gun and the law on their side.

Andrew Garfield gives a captivating performance as the idealistic journalist in way over his head. Highly recommended. find out more...
