Entertainment Reviews:
It would be hard to imagine a more entertaining corrupt-cop documentary than THE SEVEN FIVE, a slick and fascinating portrait of disgraced New York policeman Michael Dowd.
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 5/5 --
A true-to-life documentary that feels ripped out of a Martin Scorsese film plot.

I think people like Russell add to the toxicity, thickening the wall that separates cops from the citizens they're tasked to protect. But maybe we need someone as plainly amoral to make a documentary as good as The Seven Five ...

It's not quite Goodfellas, but it's better than Casino.

Rating: 4/5 --
While Tiller is clearly a little seduced by the drama of it all, he's good at exploring the moral myopia that sets in when the view from the trenches elevates loyalty to each other above protecting and serving the public.

The talking heads approach gets a bit relentless, but it's hair-raising stuff.
