One terrific movie!

When I looked at the reviews... I thought it odd there were no 1 star ratings. I'm not sure I've ever seen that before. Well, after enjoying this film, I can totally understand why. What a gem. Everything about this film I loved. It had all the components for me I'm looking for... good story, great acting and it was shot super well. Well done everyone! I certainly give this a thumbs up.

Moving and hard-hitting

A poignant and moving portrayal of race relations and the police's relationship with its community in LA. It's a little like 'Crash', but told from the point of view of one of the minor characters. Definitely worth a look.

Timely Morality Tale

I really enjoyed this timely and thought provoking film that tackles some heavy subject matter. At it's core, Unlawful justice is a morality tale that focusses on a police officer who is trying to do the right thing while being tempted by a flawed justice system and his own need to provide for his family. The story is well crafted, the acting is top notch and the cinematography is stellar. I look forward to watching it again.

Great cop drama

This story is an accurate portrayal of Law Enforcement on both sides of the blue line that will resonate with you no matter what City you reside in. The Director astutely puts you in the shoes of the characters as you see how and why they make life altering decisions. I reccomend this film!

A finely crafted drama

A gritty intense morality tale about the justice system, race relations, and trying to follow your own moral compass in a chaotic and corrupt world. The acting is excellent and convincing, and it's a well balanced story. Don't let low budgets deter you, small films often have powerful things to say.
