The Couchpotatoes I rate this movie with a seven because of the good acting and an easy-to-follow story. For the haters it's not a documentary but a fictional movie even though there are some scenes described from real facts, like the news stories on the television and radio, and the G8 in Genoa. The movie can't please anybody apparently, not from right wing or left wing sides. I'm a left wing and even if this movie has a lot of racism in it, and a lot of free aggression from the riot police, I still think it is an enjoyable movie to watch. There are some scenes that don't seem realistic like some football riots because there are way not enough extras available in those scenes. It's most definitely a budgetary problem but it would have been better with more hooligans and police. I've seen a lot of football violence in my life and in this movie it's just a bit simplistic. First of all the riot police are just thugs, way worse than the so-called hooligans. I've seen innocents being beaten up by those bastards plenty of times. So in that the movie is quite accurate, the excessive violence they use most of the times. There was also a lot of racism in ACAB and that's also quite accurate in modern society, where if you're an immigrant you're almost immediately being associated as a bad person, while the truth is far away from that. All honest immigrants pay the price of a minority of thugs among them. But those thugs as well as the racists are basically just the same, some selfish ignorant and greedy bastards. So all in all the movie is pleasant to watch, it's well done with the budget they have. The cast is also good. In an ideal world the police should protect and serve the population, but we're not living in an ideal world, and there are daily proofs of police brutality against the weak. Police brutality that never get punished. Police protecting civilians but who protects us from thug police? The time that being a police officer was about respect is long gone. Almost nobody has respect for the police anymore and in my eyes it's really justified. All Cops Are Bastards.

ferras-f if you are a Nazi racist friend of cops this is a perfect movie to see. A racist propaganda about the riot cops.If this was a true story the violence would be way more.I think that watching this movie was a waste of energy.The cops are dogs of the government and they often collaborate with the fascists.They are brothers when it comes to violence against the working class and all the people who want to resist and fight for their rights and freedom.This movie insults me and i think all the people who have healthy way of thinking.If you choose and watch this film you should also watch the American History X who reveals the true nature of the racists.That kind of people usually becoming cops.

Binoy Santhakumar (bonzybino) ACAP is a raw and honest attempt at showing the ignored lives of riot cops, at least their personal lives and internal issues are seldom spoken of! Shot and narrated in a Documentary style, it gives the movie a gritty reality, well complemented by some good performances from the cast. The background score does add value to the drama, the ending truly class.Italian being an alien language, I had to keep my eye on subtitles as well, which did mar my movie experience - I did watch it a second time without subtitles. I had to make a thorough study on the whole plot, the immigration issues and the hatredness for cops - it was all new to me. And once i got the hang of the issues being discussed, I really did love the movie, yea it might not be the the action thriller or biopic thriller the global audience would go after, but it deserves to be in the Global panorama, for the rawness and gruesome reality it shows, obviously the technical side should take a bow for making an outstanding movie product. 7.5/10

mysteryman7162 A.C.A.B is a phrase I grew up with in the U.K in the early eighties and was often seen tattooed on the fingers, necks and one time forehead of skinheads. I was intrigued to see it being used in Italy, that drew me to see the film.A.C.A.B the film centers on the exploits of small group of riot police in Rome.I found it to be very well paced, realistic though budgetary constraints made the riot scenes seem a little under populated. The characters were well developed and the action scenes well directed. There was a lot of racism in the film and the direction is kind of ambivalent about it.To conclude I would urge you to watch this film and form you own opinion.
