Nick Loves gives up making movies about criminals for one about cops who act like them

The end always justifies the means – that appears to be the message Nick (The Business) Love wants to impart in this celebration of police brutality masquerading as a cinematic update of the '70s TV show. But, while the film may be brain-numbingly banal, this BD proves that you can polish a turd by delivering gleaming AVC 2.40:1 1080p visuals that get the best out of the film's Dark Knight-inspired glass and steel cityscapes. The DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio also punches above its weight whenever the gunfire and/or shouting starts. Extras are numerous, if not always interesting.
