I do rate Joseph Wambaugh as a good writer . Okay so he only writes police stories but JK Rowling brings out the same book every year and no one complains about that . If there is any fundamental problem with his books it`s that they lack a central plot . It`s a problem with THE CHOIRBOYS and it`s possibly a problem with THE NEW CENTURIONS , both stories being rather episodic . That said this is a fairly well acted gritty cop film ( The scene with the baby made me squirm ) with lighter moments such as the scene in the park late at night . It`s also a film that explains where the title comes from , something screenwriters seem to have forgotten about nowadays
