A.C.A.B. - All Cops Are Bastards

A.C.A.B. - All Cops Are Bastards (2012) is Stefano Sollima's hard-edged crime drama, available to watch online on iFILM. The debut feature from the director who later made Gomorrah and Suburra plants you inside a Rome riot police unit and strips away every trace of heroism.

Adriano is the fresh recruit, handed over to three veterans: Negro, Mazinga, and Cobra. These men answer violence with violence, split the world into us and them, and treat the baton as the only language the streets understand. At first Adriano falls in line. Then the rot starts to show. Stadium clashes, evictions, and night raids build a portrait of cops the system broke long before their shift began.

Pierfrancesco Favino and Marco Giallini play it without excuses and without judgment. The film refuses to deliver a verdict and instead makes you keep watching. Sollima shoots Rome grey, sweaty, and one spark from detonation. If you want angry European crime cinema with no soft edges, this lands square on target.
