Cop Land (1997)
7/10
A 7 that should have been an 8

This movie is littered with great actors; with Sly Stallone stealing the show; playing a completely different personality type than one has grown accustomed to seeing from him.

The problem?

Someone really thought it was a good idea to cast Michael Rapaport - who is a D actor, on his best day.

I have no clue what they were thinking.

He lowers the whole film a grade.

But everyone else is great.

Also, the sub story of the abusive husband and wife didn't need to be in it. Relationship drama is always a drag in any film.

No one likes their own drama - much less wants to spend their off time watching fictional relationship drama. Lol Think about it - when a couple starts to argue in real life, what do you want to do? Leave.

So why would anyone think it falls under 'entertainment'?

They fix those 2 things, and this movie goes from good to great.
