I like cop movies but it irritates the hell out of me that so many of them are about dirty cops. In Officer Down, Stephen Dorff was a dirty cop who, after being shot and having his life saved by an unknown man who came to his aid , tries to make good with his second chance. But when that unknown helper becomes known and asks for a big favor in return, Dorff sets out on a mission that sees him revisit his demons before he can make things right.
So what should have been a simple story just seems to bog down in a quagmire of happenings that only serve to make the story difficult to follow, and ruins what could have been a pretty good film with an outstanding performance by Dorff. But he isn't enough to save this complicated mess, so I'm not going to suggest you waste a rental fee here.
