Review of Cop Land

Cop Land (1997)
8/10
Get over your hatred of Sly and watch a terrific movie
4 April 2005
Cop Land is an experience in and of itself. The small town is so perfectly shot that it feels like the long lost vacation spot you never went to. First off, the cast is incredible in this film. Sylvester Stallone, Harvey Keitel, Ray Liotta, and Robert Deniro, just to name a few. Every character in this movie is highly believable. And the shocking thing is that Sly steals the show easily. This is without a doubt one of Sylvester Stallones best roles. He was cast perfectly as the down and out of luck sheriff who gets fed up with the illegal actions going on around him. Harvey Keitel never lets you down, nor does Robert Deniro. Ray Liotta is superb as the rough drug dealer that pushes Sly around. Other than the amazing cast, the story is flawless. This film is the definition of drama. Real life situations of crooked cops, under the table deals, murder, and the power of politics are put together so well to create this world that is Cop Land. I would tell anyone who hasn't seen this movie that they need to sit down and watch it immediately. It will grab you from the beginning and amaze you as the tragic story unfolds and leads to one of the most dramatic endings in film.
