Synopsis
Crown Vic (2019) — watch online a stripped-down police thriller directed by Joel Souza, starring Thomas Jane and Luke Kleintank. One night shift, one patrol car, one of the rougher corners of Los Angeles.
Rookie cop Nick Holland draws veteran Ray Mandel as his training officer. Not the easiest draw: Mandel operates in grey territory and asks uncomfortable questions from the first hour. Two cop-killers are loose in their zone, the city is close to the edge, and then Mandel hears something about the young daughter of a fallen officer — and decides to handle it personally, rookie in tow.
Souza shot this close to real time, which means the tension comes from conversation and decision-making rather than set pieces. For a film built around police procedure, it's unusually frank about where the job ends and private judgment begins. That's either a strength or a frustration, depending on what you bring to it.
