The New Centurions
“The nationwide bestseller about cops - by a cop!”
CrimeDramaAction
An idealistic rookie cop joins the LAPD to make ends meet while finishing law school, and is indoctrinated by a seasoned veteran. As time goes on, he loses his ambitions and family as police work becomes his entire life.
VIBE
A raw, unflinching look at the soul-crushing reality of police work. This film feels like a long, hard shift in the unforgiving streets of 1970s Los Angeles, where idealism slowly erodes under the weight of the job.
