Equal Standard is a 2020 American crime drama film written by Taheim Bryan and directed by Brendan Kyle Cochrane.
The film stars Ice-T, Maurice Benard, Tobias Truvillion, Syleena Johnson, Robert Clohessy, Chris Kerson and Jules Willcox.
[3] Film critic Tomris Laffly from Variety gave it a mixed review writing: "Trying to be The Wire of the BLM era, Brendan Kyle Cochrane's haphazardly edited New York-based drama of shifting perspectives feels too unfocused and overstuffed for a feature."
As Chris, a good cop in a barrel of bad apples, he puts forth a performance that is in equal parts authentic and tender.
"[4] Sandie Angulo Chen from Common Sense Media gave it 3 of 5 stars writing: "Relevant themes and Truvillion's stand-out performance rescue this drama from preachy dialogue and oversimplification of the tensions between Black communities and law enforcement.
