"Copshop" is a film that is entertaining overall. It holds an interesting, if not unique, premise of good vs evil in a cop station--and there is plenty of evil to go around. The film is absurdly over the top in its action sequences to the point of becoming a farce. There are also long sequences where nothing much happens. The story itself is convoluted and is largely described in retrospect by the characters themselves. We know about money being stolen, family members being killed, dirty cops involved in the mix and double-crosses, but exactly what it all means never becomes abundantly clear. We also get the female lead who is essentially an expert on just about everything under the sun and then some. Oh, we also get excessive use of the "F word" to the point of ridiculousness. Overuse of cursing in films is a sign of lazy writing. The movie is watchable and manages to hold our interest to a degree, but it would be wrong to say it's a good film.
