At a powderkeg moment in American policing, "The Force" goes deep inside the embattled Oakland Police Department as it struggles to reform itself amid growing local controversy. Winner of the Documentary Directing Award at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival, filmmaker Peter Nicks (The Waiting Room) embedded with the department over the course of two years to follow its serial efforts to recast itself. The film focuses on the new chief brought in to effect reform at the very moment the Black Lives Matter movement emerges to demand police accountability and racial justice both in Oakland and across the nation.

The Force is hypnotic and eye-opening. Nicks has a style that is both experiential and ethereal: From its ground-level immersion in the minutiae of police work to its sweeping helicopter shots of the city at night, The Force has the texture of a Michael Mann film combined with the clarity of a Frederick Wiseman documentary.

Wisely, The Force’s steadily-paced narrative never pauses to glorify the corruption, instead alternating scenes with short bursts of the citizens of Oakland, seen from the window of a roving police cruiser.

Though initially compelling, Peter Nicks's documentary is fundamentally without a clear perspective on its subject.
