Good to see Stallone doing a more believable role. Wasn?t this the film, where they had to cut a scene, because it showed Stallone?s belly and they thought audiences would be too appalled by it? Due to his putting on weight for the role.
Quite a huge star cast, good cops, ...( read more)
Drags a bit and considering the cast, you would expect more! Stallone & Liotta are good though!
Who would have thought that a film that has the likes of Ray Liotta, Harvey Keitel, and Robert DeNiro would have a true break out performance from...
Sylvester Stallone.
I remember first hearing about this film and the cast and thinking why in the hell Stallone was in this. He ...( read more)
I consider this to be one of the most underrated films in the last decade or so. A very strong cast with several good performances, especially Sylvester Stallone. We are used to see him as a buffed up action hero but here he does a very strong and touching portrayal of a sheriff ...( read more)
A pure knockout. A utterly powerful and white knuckeld thriller. A gritty, tense, scorching, explosive, remarkable and electrifying movie. The cast is outstanding, every one of them deliver such force to their roles. It's safe to say the film is as good as it's cast. Sylvester St...( read more)
A great cast and a really interesting story. Cop corruption between New York and New Jersey is exploited by the unstoppable Sylvester Stallone. It actually has one of his best performances in this and he makes for a great, honest protagonist. It has a great light-hearted feel to ...( read more)
A sheriff is told to 'do the right thing and turn a blind eye' whilst the cops who live where he works are engaging in corrupt and illegal behaviour. Stallone is a tour de force in this movie, (he even put weight on for his role) and showed people that he could actually act.
James Mangold's moody direction is better than his plot, but this remains a noteworthy stretch for an actor trying to leave Rocky and Rambo behind.
I would'nt call it a great thriller boy sure did bored me from the start. Storyline was old school about crooked cops i have seen seen better cop films than this. Sylvester Stallone played one lazy sadistic cop who tried to be a hero even though he wasn't in the same cop departme...( read more)
Nearly down for the count in the movie ring, Stallone isn't just back in the fight. He's a winner. full review
A movie with such a promising concept, so poorly executed, that it begs to be remade. full review
Oh, the tyranny of being serious about your art: It's a shame when an actor like Sylvester Stallone, who's always at his most appealing when he just hunkers down and lets himself be a big galoot, feel... full review
Though at first Cop Land seems as if it will be an ensemble piece, it is, in fact, Stallone's movie. full review
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Cop Land" !
