A cop is killed in a robbery gone bad. Another is paralyzed when he tries to capture the killer. 700 armed robberies and one chase through L.A.’s labyrinthine system of storm drains later, and the police are still no closer to capturing their man. “Taken (or so the studio claims) from actual police files. ... A gritty masterpiece!” (Errol Morris).
