In the 1980s, New York was considered one of the most dangerous major cities in the United States. Crime was on an ultimate high, especially in Brooklyn, New York. The documentary, “The Seven-Five” directed by Tiller Russell, focuses on a police officer named Michael Dowd who worked in the 75th precinct. The 75th precinct was known for being the most dangerous area with the most crime. However, not only were individuals within the community committing crimes. Dowd, who’s been on the job for two years, went from being a good cop that followed all protocols to a corrupt cop that went down the path of crime. This documentary goes into details on Dowd’s crime streak, how he got caught, the case against him, and the testimonies of his partners in the police station.

As the viewer’s gaze lingers on this central image, his/her eyes reluctantly and painfully follow the path of the crimson red blood that spurts out of Christ’s body and so naturally trickles down his arms into a pool at the base of the cross.

Overall, the movie is about the main character of the film, Orin Boyd a Detroit police detective who gets demoted to the 15th precinct in Detroit, Michigan for his attitude and rough means of enforcing the law when he saved the Vice President’s life from a domestic terrorism attack. While at the 15th precinct, for his punishment, he discovers officers involved in corruption and other illegal activity. At the beginning he doesn’t realize anything and some of the corrupt officers are friendly with detective Boyd and seem like good cops on the outside. Soon as he comes into contact with a drug dealer while working a case, the drug dealer Latrell Walker(DMX) shows Boyd his operation and with video evidence of the officers involved in corruption and illegal activity in an effort to free his brother Shaun who was framed for his incarceration.
