Officer Downe (2016)
4/10
How on earth did this turn out so dull?
20 April 2023
Officer Downe has got blood, gore, sex, nudity, flailing limbs, foxy nuns with automatic weaponry, an action sequence done to "Everybody Wants You" (with blows being synced to drum beats), AND an undead cop. One thing that's missing is, oh, I don't know, a STORY?

Criminals want to kill Officer Downe, only he can't be killed. Is that a story? Someone really dropped the ball on this. I see the guy who wrote the comic also did the screenplay.

The only reason this movie gets any attention (besides its star) is the fact that one of the guys from Slipknot directed it. Keep your day job! (Or at least get a better screenplay). And where did they get the rookie cop, some kid off the street? Holy crap, talk about unconvincing. The entire final act is laughable. I'm giving this four stars because parts of it (padded by long stretches of inanity) are bonkers.
