watch Rambo I
Re: Movie suggestion related to police and/or torture
Das Experiment. It's a german movie and not exactly about police but it's about how when people are given power (pertaining to law and order) over others they tend to abuse it. It's a brilliant movie based on a real research project gone wrong.
Re: Movie suggestion related to police and/or torture
how about "The Departed" (on police), or "Khuda Key Leya" (for reference to intelligence agencies)
btw do watch "Rendition" too (for reference to intelligence agencies)
Re: Movie suggestion related to police and/or torture
"La Haine".
It deals with French ghettos and the treatment of immigrants by the police. The story is essentially: a cop kills an Arab youth, and his friends (Jewish, Senegalese etc) vow to kill a cop in retaliation.
Its one of those movies that leaves you speechless at the end.
Re: Movie suggestion related to police and/or torture
The movies you guys are suggesting have very little to do with Police/Torture. Sure they have cops in them, but then...so does Robocop and The Simpsons. Doesnt make them good police/torture movies.
Baigette, if I understand correctly you want a movie on police brutality. If that is the case, I'd really recommend you watch La Haine. If i got your criteria wrong, let me know what exactly you're trying to portray and I'll suggest an exact match for you.
The good thing about La Haine is it's a short movie with awesome reviews. Also, because it's a indie film it means your classmates will most likely be watching it for the first time. Nothing is worse than showing a class full of students a movie they have already watched.

Re: Movie suggestion related to police and/or torture
watch "Evil Angels"... we used it 4 english 4 a similar puropse... its based on a true story on how how prejudice (racial, religous & cultural) got in the way of a trial 4 a mother accused of murdering her child (the mother claiming a dingo took it)... its not enitrely based around police but i guess they were involved in it...
Re: Movie suggestion related to police and/or torture
watch Rambo I
it basically shows Rambo returning from Vietnam looking for his friends and a small town cop beats and tortures him
Re: Movie suggestion related to police and/or torture
well if police violence is what you want...watch...pulp fiction!
The police are on one side of torture in the sex shop scene!
Re: Movie suggestion related to police and/or torture
La Haine is the first movie that springs to mind when I hear police and torture in the same sentence.
Also, you might be interested in Shawshank Redemption which has some elements of police cruelty and spitefulness.
Re: Movie suggestion related to police and/or torture
Khuda ke Liye
Re: Movie suggestion related to police and/or torture
Is khuda kai liyeh on torrents yet?
Re: Movie suggestion related to police and/or torture
^pata nahi....i saw some scenes on youtube.......good for mental torture.
Re: Movie suggestion related to police and/or torture
I've seen both La Haine and Das Experiment. The latter would be your best option. Both are cracking movies mind.
Oh and for a pulp fiction sort of a movie, you can't go far wrong with Dobermann.
