Review of Cop Land (1997) by David A — 20 Apr 2010
Just picked this gem up for the Kyle collection. Everytime I watch this flick it seems to get better and better. Awesome performances from the entire cast, even a very passive Stallone (something Im not used too) Stallone plays Sheriff Freddy Heflin, years ago he saved one of his town's people in an underwater car accident and injured his ear which pretty much kept him from enrolling within the N.
Y.P.D. He did however become sheriff of a town named Garrison that was built for NYPD cops and their families with the sole intention of keeping them away from all the scum and bad guys where they work.
Freddy is the perfect pick for Sheriff, he's quiet, not a mean bone in his body, and as the NYPD put it..As dumb as a rake...or is he??? I mean how hard could it be watching over a town of cops?No one in their right mind is going to start shit there.
The problem is the cops themselves, taking deals with the mob, stashing incriminating evidence and when one of their own shoots up two black males passing through in a botched up pull over they have to pull the ultimate cover up.
..Maybe even taking out one or two of their own crew in the process??? This movie was bashed heavily by the critics (who as far as I am concerned dont know their ass from a hole in the ground!!) If you are a fan of cop dramas as I am, make sure you give this a look you wont be disspointed.
