Policeman (Ha-shoter) 2011
In this Israeli drama the leader of an elite anti-terrorist unit clashes with a group of young radicals.

Policeman divides its attention between both sides of the law, initially focusing on machismo-filled alpha male Yaron. The best of a highly-trained bunch of Jerusalem cops, Yaron has a beautiful wife and a baby on the way, which only serves to fuel his narcissicism. Meanwhile, Shira schemes to use terrorism to overthrow what she perceives as a violent racist state controlled by the rich - from the cosy confines of her wealthy mother's apartment. Hide
