Customer Reviews of Choirboys
Near-Complete Failure to Exploit Unbelievable Potential This film, with its superlative cast and the terrific book upon which it is based, miserably failed to deliver the depth, richness and impact of that fine book. The actors were just perfect -- Roscoe Rules and Harold Bloomguard, in particular, were portrayed stupendously -- and some of the vignettes came across properly, but in total this movie ended up being a real shame. I read that Joseph Wambaugh wanted to have himself completely dis-associated from the film (which is one reason that the next movie made from a Wambaugh book, The Onion Field, more closely adheres to its source).
Read the book, watch this film once (mainly to see how well the actors just NAILED their roles!) and then hope for a remake or, perhaps, a re-edit.
The Choirboys is Great Fun
I first saw this movie as a kid, and as a grown up I'm now a cop. This movie looks at life as a cop with a sense of humor mingled with what really happens on the street. Some parts of the movie don't mix well but is still a lot of fun to watch and know some things never change.
