Unity, struggle, seriousness, and lively Los Angeles police

An ordinary story, a big scary city, two cops, two families, a bunch of hooligans.
There is nothing to say about the lofty sense of mission to maintain social peace, nor the lofty ideal of loving the motherland and defending the people. They are just working hard. But this does not contradict the beautiful words of these main themes.
They talk about everything at work, full of foul language and dirty jokes, but they will immediately enter the state when they have a job. After his partner died in the line of duty, the male lead only choked with one sentence: "He is my brother."
I think this is the real "unity, struggle, seriousness, and liveliness". Much more real than the slogans I shouted all day long in my early years.
The film uses a lot of DV shooting methods, just to highlight the word "real", but in fact, I think it may be better to shoot ordinary, after all, this "pseudo-documentary" style of shooting can easily make the film look scattered, It will also slow down the audience's investment in the film to a certain extent.
