This has a really good ensemble cast, but the sum of the parts really don’t add up to much of an whole. Sylvester Stallone is local sheriff “Freddy”, in charge of policing a small town – Garrison – near New York that is largely populated by it’s police officers. The television news reports and our frequent attendance at the cemetery soon demonstrate to us that being a cop has become an even more perilous affair. Just who is behind this new danger? Harvey Keitel (“Ray”) is the kingpin sergeant who many believe is to be applauded for enabling many officers to escape the Big Apple itself and set up home for their families in relatively safe and secure surroundings, but is he really the altruist that he purports to be? The death of one officer leads “Tilden” (Robert De Niro) to lead an internal investigation, but when that is mysteriously shut down by the Mayor, it falls to “Freddy” to find the truth. There are just too many characters in this film, there is far too much dialogue and for the most part, really too little action. It shines a dimly lit light on police corruption, but to be honest most of these are pretty unsavoury characters who would stab their own mothers in the face for a quick buck. De Niro is all to rarely on screen and I found Ray Liotta’s “Gary” just too unconvincing after about ten minutes. If this is supposed to be brotherhood, hmmm, I think I will pass.
Sheriff Freddy Heflin (Stallone) is an ordinary officer who spends his boring life in the town where he lives. Time passes so slow in a quiet little town of “Cop Land”. This bulky sheriff does nothing other than controlling traffic and surrendering to his pinball addiction. When a misfire broke out in town, Freddy jumped into it with the help of Lt. Moe Tilden (Robert De Niro). This seems like a big leap of the career-stuck sheriff. Two thumbs of for Stallone for giving up his all muscles body, something is well-maintained for years and also his choice for accepting a role much different from his usual heroic/action ones. Stallone did much better in his role when compared to his acting in Get Carter or D-Tox
Nice movie with great actors
I didn’t really know what to expect from “Cop Land”.You have some expectations when actors like Sylvester Stallone, Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel star in this movie – but could Stallone be the quiet Sheriff? The answer is yes, Stallone did well in this movie, he showed that he isn’t just an action star, he is a great actor.
“Cop Land” had a nice story, but I think it had more potential. The movie could have lasted for 20-30 minutes more. It was a nice movie anyway, I will rate it 7/10.
Stallone’s comeback not for the ignorants
I know that everyboby’s laughing about a movie that Stallone’s starring in. His name is an easy target even to the most ignorant ones; they immediately put him under the ‘action movie’ label, like Arnold or Jean-Claude. What people forget (or don’t know) about is that Stallone differs from all those action movie actors, in that he turned into this icon we all know by making a series of (really) bad choices. Do you know that Sly’s the one who wrote the script of the Oscar winning Rocky? Do you know that because his face is half paralyzed (from birth) he speaks in that weird way that some people find difficult to understand what he’s saying (and always joke about it)? Do you know that he was paid only $60.000 for his acting in Cop Land, while he had to gain 30 pounds for his role?To me Cop land is the kind of movie Stallone should have made after First Blood. The director knows what Sly’s really capable of so he gives him this role of the cop that is so fair and just, but inside him a burning past lives on. He’s a hero and because of that he’s lost half of his hearing to save the woman he loves, but she went on to marry another man. He can’t be promoted because of his hearing, and while he wants to stay integral, he has to face the deeds of his fellow police officers.
The movie showcases the struggle of a man to overcome his past, the temptation of corruption and the triumph of one’s will to remain true to what he believes in. The final sequence is similar to the one’s of The Unforgiven or Taxi Driver and it provides a hymn to the human spirit. Stallone’s perfomance is unforgettable and he should be nominated for an academy award. Do you think that it’s an accident that his performance overshadows De Niro’s and Keitel’s appearences?
I believe that if Stallone did a movie like that right after his first 2 triumphs he could be leading a career similar to the one of De Niro’s. But unfortunately, to all of us Sly’s only capable of throwing hand grenades. Right Leonard Maltin?
