| by Brian Takeshita |
| The local sheriff of a small town has turned a blind eye to its criminal
inhabitants for years. The bad guys are bad, all right, but they've also
kept a certain kind of order. The sheriff figures that as long as worse
criminal elements are kept at bay,...more |

| The first thing you notice about this movie is the excessive weight being
lugged around by the actors. There has been considerable publicity about
the twenty kilos that Stallone piled on but nothing has been mentioned
about the appearance of flubber on...more |

"The greates trick the devil ever pulled?"
This isn't going to be a review in the normal meaning of the word.
What I would like to do is to tell the story of James Mangold and the
greatest trick he ever pulled, and no he didn't convince the...more |

| Stallone attempts to 'act' in this cop drama. The film is set
in a neighbourhood pratically built by Kietal, who's
nephew (played by Michael Rappaport) is involved in a car
crash and killing of two black youths. Keital dosen't really

| What has an ensemble cast, pointless flashbacks, a love of policemen,
90 minutes to bore an audience to death, has only two funny moments,
one overblown dramatic moment, and stinks? No, it's not Mayor
Giuliani's campaign. It's Cop Land. A lot...more |

| Across the bridge in New Jersey there is a town named Garrison. It's a
small town, mostly populated by cops from New York. The sheriff of Garrison
is Freddy Heflin (Sylvester Stallone). He has a desperate want to be in the
NYPD, but can't get in because...more |

| "I look at this town, and I don't like what I see," remarks the
sheriff of the backwater town of Garrison, New Jersey. Although his
town nominally has a low crime rate, the reality is much grimmer. The
city, a bedroom community of New York City...more |

| I'm not exactly sure that I can review this fairly. I am pretty
biased towards Stallone films, but then I figured that critics are
supposed to be biased. I admit it... I love Stallone movies. Even if
they are brainless action flicks (with the...more |

James Mangold's Cop Land is one of those films that looks better on
paper than on screen, a picture that is more fun to anticipate than actually
watch. Despite the presence of a vast array of impressive acting...more |

| It is nice to see Stallone in something other than his macho,
daredevil, machine gun-firing roles. And he is much more likable
playing Freddy Heflin, a wannabe policeman who is rejected because one
ear has been damaged when, as a teenager, he dove into...more |

| "Cop Land" is the sophomore effort of writer/director James Mangold,
and doubtless many will say that it's not as good as his first film, "Heavy".
Since I haven't seen "Heavy", I'm not as subject to the seemingly inevitable
disappointment that seems to...more |

| Sylvester Stallone can't act. Sylvester Stallone can't act. I've
had that phrase drilled into my head in every Stallone movie I've ever
watched for the notable exception of "Rocky". Finally, I'm pleased to
announce that after watching "Cop Land"...more |

| Over the past 20 years, we have seen Sylvester Stallone rise... and
fall. And rise. And fall again. Now, 21 years after his underdog-hero
in ROCKY made him a blue-collar hero, Stallone has decided that he's
ready to try a little "serious" acting. All...more |
