Police Beat (2005)
Gorgeous, true, strange
Okay, so I registered on IMDb after years of use just to counter the other comment I saw. This film rocked. Lyrical, gentle, raw, and new-making. I've lived in Seattle for many years now, and this film showed me visions I'll dream happily about in my old age.
It's contemplative, not exactly action-packed, but definitely action-filled. The counterpoint between the narrative and the on-screen action is true to the city, more than any art I've ever experienced.
Highly recommended, but watch it with somebody you like.
--- Ah, okay. The machine wants more lines in this review. So much for brevity, and here I thought I was being long-winded. The scene in Gasworks park alone makes the movie worth seeing. I can't imagine that I'd like this movie so well if I lived in some easterly nether- regional city, but for us Pacific Coasters, its a delight.
