The second film from writer/director James Mangold, the corruption drama Cop Land stars Sylvester Stallone as Freddy Heflin, the much-denigrated sheriff of tiny Garrison, NJ, a community which -- thanks to a technicality -- is populated almost entirely by members of the New York City Police Department. When young cop Murray Superboy Babitch (Michael Rapaport) becomes embroiled in a controversial shoot-out which leaves two black youths dead, he apparently commits suicide rather than face the wrath of an official investigation. In reality, however, he flees to safety back home in Garrison. In the wake of the controversial events, NYPD Internal Affairs lieutenant Moe Tilden (Robert De Niro) arrives in Garrison to uncover the truth, attempting to enlist Freddy to help watch the watchmen, including Superboy's uncle, veteran cop Ray Donlan (Harvey Keitel); coked-out Gary Figgis (Ray Liotta); and Joey Randone (Peter Berg), the husband of the woman (Annabella Sciorra) Freddy loved and lost. A rich, complex film about redemption, Cop Land's portrayal of Freddy's struggles to prove his worth mirrors Stallone's own return to thoughtful, character-driven drama after years of vacuous action roles. Like Freddy, he faces an uphill battle, fighting for respectability in the face of a superb cast including Janeane Garofalo, Cathy Moriarty, and Paul Calderon.~ Jason Ankeny, All Movie Guide

A curiosity piece
Solid but unexceptional thriller, mainly interesting for the casting of Stallone in a role that would demand a greater acting range than normally associated ... read more »

An okay film made great by its cast
When you have heavyweights Robert DeNiro and Harvey Keitel on board, you expect some pretty damn fine acting. And, of course, from those two (and Ray Liotta) ... read more »

Surprising, beautifully paced thriller
A smart, suspenseful movie that cleverly pulls its punches. Director Mangold is not afraid of his all-star cast and nobody overwhelms the screen. Stallone is a ... read more »

Ok Land
This is an ok film, with a alright story. Just felt a little slow to me and the ending was some what predictible. Sly plays his role very well as a deaf wantabe... read more »
Some actors do their job between ‘action’ and ‘cut’. Some plunge into an ocean of research with only infrequent gasps of air. And some go to such all-out, full-on, balls-to-the-wall extremes in pursuit of their art, you wonder if they’ll ever come down again. Witness Christian Bale as Exhibit A (and Exhibits B, C and D, for that matter), in The Fighter. As Dicky Eklund, half-brother to Mark Wahlberg’s light welterweight wannabe Micky Ward, he sheds the beef... Read more
