The strength of "Peace Officer" is that it doesn't attempt to pit the viewer against the police.
Overview
To nab a sales manager who's at large after murdering his family, a detective investigates the man's colleagues, who seem to be hiding something.
Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Surpasses the best episode of the now defunct "CSI" series in its suspense and fascinating procedural detail and rivals the intensity, ingenuity, and broader ramifications of Errol Morris's "The Thin Blue Line."
Lawrence acts as a genial and knowledgable guide to the film's true subject, and the source of its titular irony: the increasing militarization of law enforcement.
The engrossing documentary "Peace Officer" looks at the militarization of police work from a fresh, provocative angle.
While "Peace Officer" could offer more information, what is here is disturbing and sometimes eye-opening.
