Running time: 84 mins
Rules are meant to be broken.
Will an overzealous rookie survive his training? In this superbly crafted satire of police training videos of the 80s, Jim is a robotic, wooden, yet eager (at first) rookie cop. The narrator must teach Jim the ropes and make him a true peace officer. But it isnt easy. Jims not an easy teach. The narrators extremely calm and matter-of-fact demeanor is rattled when his rookie begins to disobey orders. Oops! Does Jim have what it takes to obey, to fulfill, and to live the life of a real-life cop? This dark comedy is a combination of Pleasantville and the Purple Rose of Cairo. Will Jim go too far to protect the citizens in his care? Or will he become a victim of the survival solutions video designed to protect him? The suspense will keep you hanging to the very end and split your sides in the process.
