"Third World Cop"
1999
Directed by Chris Browne

This violent action thriller was shot with digital video on an extremely limited budget. A "shoot first, ask questions later" Kingston cop ends up on a collision course with an old friend who has become a notorious crime boss. "A fine caper, enriched by the unique cultural backdrop where island and hip-hop culture clash" (Nicole Campos, L.A. Weekly). Music by Sly & Robbie, The Marley Brothers, Lady G and more. Although filmed in English, the movie has some English subtitles due to the strong Jamaican dialect. 98 minutes.
