The everyday life of New York police officer Deo Russo is turned upside down by a new partner. The rough-and-tumble loner is supposed to train the blue-eyed beginner Angela Dutton on a joint shift. There is not much time to get to know each other, because the unlikely duo has to deal with the whole range of crime on the hot pavement of the "Big Apple" on the very first day...
After his meanwhile announced farewell to filmmaking, the German cult director Uwe Boll (RAMPAGE: PRESIDENT DOWN) is back with an atmospherically dense and rough action thriller. FIRST SHIFT sparkles with authenticity due to the shooting at New York original locations and provides gripping tension with tricky missions full of unbridled violence. In the USA, FIRST SHIFT became a streaming hit and the chemistry between the cops is simply right: The two series stars Gino Anthony Pesi (SHADES OF BLUE) and Kristen Renton (SONS OF ANARCHY) make a likeable duo with their little taunts.
