::POLICE PROCEDURALS::

THE GIST OF THE LIST: Films which follows the investigation of a crime and the ultimate exhaustive search for the culprit - a search which may even span decades. Some of these films are told within two parallel story lines - one following the investigation by police detectives and the other following the criminal and his exploits - while others remain a mystery until a surprise revelation in the end.
