this film clearly isnt masquerading as a masterpiece so give it some margin of error.....as for it being believable well its a strecth but far from an abominal stretch.....1st off things that would normally constitute a crime have been waived off due to it bein a prank(to a lesser extent of course)....pranks that resulted in death or injury that would normally be manslaughter or assault etc. have been waived....even the prison experiment in the 70's that resulted in physical and mental injury including 1 death wasnt found to be criminal(although civil)....so again on that basis the experiment nullifying consequences is a bit of a strecth but keyword bit......secondly the film tried to showcase another incentive for police not filing charges and that was unwanted negative attention or even discipline...remember they called them *beep* and boy and were quick to point guns at hand cuffed men even threatening them.....again sad truth is in real life taped would be burned n them negroes would be shot(think mike brown and the 50 or so unarmed black men that were shot since mike brown til the end of the year)....but again at least the film offered a plausible incentive on top of the experiment for police to let it go.........but even though i mentioned them being shot in real life the film again put effort into giving plausible explanations for things which is miles above most movies and thats the fact that they purposely targeted small towns....the officer even said their town wasnt used to that sorta thing.....which is legit small towns are less prepared for those type of event and banks tend to be lacking armed security....so again plausible to get in and out without incident and once youre caught walking unarmed its a 50/50 chance of not being shot in real life lol chances a little better in the film
i think some people are a little harsh on it i mean some stretches but they offered plausible explanations for them...and it had some twist the 2 black actors were awesome the main cop was awesome the other cops were a little exaggerated and caricatures of trigger happy toward blacks type of cops but then again they exist......interesting story decent pace not rushed or drawn out a few cliches far from a masterpiece but decent flick and its rare to see black actors with a role that isnt a token or about racism(touches on it but merely an undertone and plot device) or slavery or a famous black person biopic so it gets my vote
Oh great, now it's my dick that's killing me
