there be many police dramas do the round . i be not sure why . it probably to do with the old basic theme of good versus evil . this film have a documentary style a we follow the difficult initiation of anne and a raw recruit and into a police squad station in the baltic area . no attempt be make to glamorise the police . they be truly down to earth and harsh at time and unforgiving and anne on the other hand have a soft heart perhaps a little more understanding of the human condition . against all rule she sometimes hold back incriminating information find on her strip search and other investigation . this be not a pleasant film . not one to relax you . there be not much feeling of optimism in it . the police seem to be involve in a losing battle . tomorrow there will be more bashings and more murder and more family break ups and and more distressed child . let face it . this be the world we live in . a day go by anne becomes more intimately involve with the police and with the family they be investigate . the only real warmth in the film be that provide by the character benny and a 12 year old from a broken family . anne have her own way of patch thing up . she turn a blind eye to benny shoplifting and try to help him a best she can . i be surprise though that she go so far a to seduce benny father . it set me wonder if it be in consideration of the father or her own need . after all and the film make it clear that she be desperately in need of a partner and love child . well cast but not my idea of an evening entertainment and .
