The Policeman's Lineage
“Lingering tension of two cops who will you trust.”
Crime
A by-the-book police officer is assigned to secretly investigate a team leader who believes that the rules shouldn't stop an investigation. As the officer investigates further, his own attitudes begin to mirror the team leader's.
VIBE
This film feels like a rain-slicked, neon-drenched dive into the moral murk of law enforcement. It's a slow burn that questions the line between right and wrong, leaving you with a lingering sense of unease and a cynical outlook.
