Officer Down (2008)
by RICHARD RECCO (Action, Crime, Drama and Thriller) Screenwriter/Director/ Producer Vincent is one of the best detectives in the NYPD—but he is far from one of New York’s Finest. He robs and kills drug dealers, freebasing heroin to numb the pain of a tortured past. Raised as a practicing Catholic, Vincent was once on the path to becoming a devoted follower, until his parents were killed in a car accident when he was six years old. Since then, Vincent has descended into a dark life of destruction, acting as his own judge and jury against the evils of Brooklyn’s streets. When his young son is nearly killed in a hit-and-run, Vincent sets out to murder the person responsible. But when he finally finds his mark, Vincent’s long-lost faith resurfaces, forcing him to confront the greatest test of his life: does he choose vengeance—knowing it may seal his son’s fate—or does he finally abide by the faith he has spent a lifetime betraying?
