I Love a Man in Uniform

1993 · 99 min

A slow, uneasy slide into obsession, watching a mild man's borrowed authority curdle into something genuinely unsettling.

Tagline: The role of a lifetime can be a killer.
Overview: Henry Adler, an outwardly normal banker, yearns to make it in show business and still answers to his overbearing father. When Henry is hired to act in a television police drama, he realizes his big break has arrived and decides to do whatever it takes to get into the role — even if that means donning his police costume in public during off hours. It isn't long, however, before Henry begins to take the law into his own hands as his violent side chillingly emerges.
How it feels: Dark, tense, eerie and melancholic. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Obsession, identity, madness, power
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
