Review of Cop Land (1997) by Michael M — 21 Jun 2009
If you ever wondered if Stallone can be more than Rocky or Rambo, or some super hero tough guy, here is your proof that he can be. Sly shines in this movie that works on numerous levels. An ensemble piece with character actors and huge stars putting in superb performances. I understand that Sly sacrificed a lot for this role, I think he was paid scale and he put on about 40 pounds.
Even though the performances are great, it can be said that they're all playing to type. All except Stallone. I think he earned a couple of nominations, but he deserved much more.
Cop Land is well done, with great pacing and a very satisfying ending. A very underrated film that deserves another viewing or two.
