A Cops and Robbers Story

The absence of a clear, overriding perspective ultimately renders it a skin-deep portrait.

The repetition of verbal and visual storytelling points to the limited scope of this film.

Always engaging in broad strokes thanks to the remarkable biography of its subject, "A Cops and Robbers Story" is at its best in the brief moments when it drills down on the particulars of Pegues' experience on either side of the law.

As a character study of a young criminal turned high-ranking policeman, the film is unexceptional but its implications about entrenched police culture are sobering.

Do people deserve a second chance?A Cops and Robbers Storyfocuses on finding an answer to this interesting question.

A pretty solid and inspirational doc... following an interesting subject like police reform through... a one-of-a-kind viewpoint.

His narrative of a second chance is compelling even if it takes its time to get to what I feel was the crux of its message.
