The shocking and powerful Criminals is a horrifying look at crime in America, using actual crime footage from police departments across the country and even from the criminals themselves. The film catches all sorts of lawbreakers in the act, ranging from a church elder with his hand in the till to a blood-chilling gang beating. We also see real-life interrogations, confessions and interviews with criminals guilty of serial rape, prostitution, murder, armed robbery and drug dealing.
Crime is a subject that strikes close to home for Oscar winning filmmaker Joseph Strick, who was driven to make Criminals after a friend was murdered by a serial killer.Strick spent six months with police in New York, California and Minnesota to get the footage for this unusually perceptive, unstereotypical view of criminals that reveals the horrifying truth about crime in America.
