The name of the movie refers to a car Ford Crown Victoria, famous for police patrolling.
So, the movie is about one night of LAPD patrol crew. The idea is far from being new.

So, the movie is about one night of LAPD patrol crew. The idea is far from being new.
There are many stereotypes in the script: it's a veteran policeman plus a rookie, and it's his first patrol shift.
Actually, there are almost all possible stereotypes there except two. One being they did not eat donuts (but that maybe because donut places were closed at night). Two: unlike in the majority of Hollywood films, police were not trigger-happy. I don't want to waste your time listing those which *were* in the movie.

There were so many co-incidents for one night that the script looked highly improbable to me. Performances were decent but nothing breath-taking.

Overall, the movie was not bad, quite watchable as a piece of entertainment.
Do not expect to be wow'ed.… Expand

It was not bad at all. Pretty decent performance from the two mains. A decent watch on any average weekday.

Unrelentingly downbeat all the way, this cynical ultra vicious movie continually goes for the worst in humanity - from a manic rogue cop (easily the worst possible example) to the drug destroyed wife of an ex-cop, to a little girl being held from her family for untold purposes, and rampaging cop killers, shooting up any that come their way, etc, etc, (all in a nights work) While it may give us a look into the dregs of society – it wallows in its negativity, failing to offer its audience any glimmer of hope (no wonder they stayed away)

Performances are all good and the contrast between the young rookie and grizzled vet works most of the time but with an unrelenting barrage of hopelessness - wrapped up in a script by writer/director (Joel Souza) who, unfortunately, seems incapable of stringing sentences together without every other word being a vulgarity. While so-called ‘trendy’ Hollywood types might speak like this it also assures it becomes tiresome for many others.

At least it has a pounding, moody soundtrack. In the seventies, films like ‘The New Centurions’ served this theme with some reasonable justice, and even though times have certainly changed, can it truly be as blatantly radical as we are being bludgeoned with here.… Expand

Thomas Jane was made for this role. This movie captures a lot of the stuff I assume is associated with being a cop. Well acted and directed.
