Lonergan
said of Lobby Hero, "I was interested in somebody who's just
trying to do their job and be a human being at the same time in an environment
that makes it very difficult to be both. Also, it's about the difficulty and
complexity of dealing with serious real-life issues, which police have to
do all the time while the rest of us sit back and either think ill or highly
of them and wonder what we would do if we were in their situation.
