Very enjoyable...but not exactly accurate

After watching and enjoying "Super Cops" I read a bit about it and found that BOTH cops portrayed in the film were involved in some illegal activities....including prison time. So, while the movie might be true, it's also possible that the pair's exploits might be exaggerated a bit.

The story is not surprising, as it came out not too long after "Serpico", another film VERY critical of the NYPD and widespread corruption within the force. Both would make a nice double-feature.

The story is about two brand new cops, Officers Greenberg and Hantz. The pair are extremely eager, often working during their off hours. Oddly, in the film the pair are often yelled at or threatened with termination or an Internal Affairs investigation despite their many, many arrests. According to the film, this is because so many of the policemen are on the take or hate that the pair are so successful that it makes them look bad.

The story is most enjoyable and the film well made. I only wish the story had talked more about the pair's work AFTER the first few months they were on the force.
