Policeman is the first feature film from writer/director Nadav Lapid. The film is an Israeli social study distinctly split into two halves. The first half follows the ultra-macho leader of a squad of highly trained operatives who specialize in the neutralization of Arab terrorists. The second half focuses on a group of Jewish student revolutionaries, dissatisfied with the gap between the country's richest citizens and the struggling lower class, who plot to send a message. We see the inevitable confrontation, and hoe the individuals involved react to thee situation presented them. Served with wine and cheese.
