EvenHand (2002)
on the money
Although I'm not a cop, I was a small town crime reporter for 5 years and spent plenty of time at crime scenes and at the police station. I've never seems a film that comes close to capturing the day-to-day existence of a cop like Evenhand does. It gets everything right. The banter between partners, the drudgery of the job, the dangers faced by cops and the fact that they can be more than a little misunderstood--whether they care if they are or not. Kudos to the actors and writers. Also the production values are top notch for an indie film--great to see how they used a great relationship with the San Antonio PD to make a great film even better.
The songs from Mike Doughty add a dimension of greatness to the movie and I was pleased to hear a clip from an obscure group, the Jump Rope Girls, used perfectly.
