Summary: Good and right
Review: This is a good movie. Stallone didn't need to get that fat for his character:the effects are not clearly visible. I think some fillers inside would do it. Ray Liotta is the weakest part in the cast, which otherwise is great. The plot and scenarios are well crafted, too.

Summary: A very impressive cast in a very good cop thriller
Review: Aside from Sly Stalone, this film could have been called Scorsese Land. A handful of the great director's usual actors make appearances such as DeNiro, Keitel, Liotta, and Cathy Moriarity. It is a great cast too. James Mangold's film is an impressive thriller about a sheriff in a New Jersey town full of corrupt New York cops. Stalone's performance is really good despite the weak written character. The supporting characters are great esp. Keitel's chracter who is played with a very sinister style only Keitel could do. DeNiro and Liotta are both very good too. The films seems to drag at times and the dialogue can be weak too at parts but the cast and the directing keep the film just where it should be. It is a very good film overall and should be viewed by those who enjoy good thrillers.

Summary: .
Review: Cop Land is an interesting and at times gripping film primarily for Stallone's excellently performed, well-designed character, and the utter lack of romanticism of the story. It is low-key, deliberately paced, and rather stark at points. There are sequences of direction which are quite well-handled and affecting. The major detracting factors are the unnecessary and unwelcome tag-on "moral message" at the end of the film (luckily, it is delivered solely through the use of a very brief last-minute narration, and so can be easily ignored and dismissed), and Ray Liotta. He's just really quite bad. Aside from the fact that he is over-acting painfully, and miscast, he also constitutes the films one truly, excruciatingly cliche moment. And it comes in the middle of such an otherwise fantastic scene! It took away so much ... <sigh>. To tell the truth, I could've done without Janeane Garofalo too. Nothing against her in particular, but she just seemed out of place ... like ... "Hey, look -- it's Janeane Garofalo as a poorly-scripted cop. How cute." Still, although not exactly a great film, this movie does have some interesting things going for it -- it's worth seeing if you're interested in seeing it, so long as you're not expecting an action movie, or something that is working off of typical Hollywood sensibilities.

Summary: The layers of corruption
Review: You have to live in a city like Chicago or New York to be able to relate the the realness of governmental corruption. By the end of the movie, you will wonder, "Who can you trust?"Before this movie, Stallone played this lovable jock, superhero person. Now he's George Bailey (from It's A Wonderful Life) who never got to leave his small town battling against the powers that be. The movie is interesting, if you look at it like that. De Niro reprises his Backdraft role as an investigator. Why is that in every movie that Kietel is in there is some violence (even "The Piano")? Just wondering. Liotta is no pretty boy here and the rest of the cops play, well cops. Enjoy.

Summary: Ah!!! At last a movie with an unusual cast!!!! Yes!!!
Review: It seems that whenever I see a De Niro film, either Joe Pesci or some other Italian actor is in it. Cop Land offers a fresh new cast of Stallone and Robert DeNiro! Who would have thought!? Gee! I wonder if they'll make a film starring Stallone, Pesci, DeNiro, and Danny DeVito? Is that at all possible! Anyways, this is a great film! Just watch it for crying out loud!

Summary: Unseemly Behavior Well Portrayed
Review: We haven't seen a Sylvester Stallone like this since the first half of Rocky (I). Although the film is the result of an ensemble effort, it hangs on Sherriff Heflin's broad shoulders, albeit occassionally uneasily. Robert De Niro is outstanding as the outsider Internal Affairs officer who isn't allowed to follow his instinct. The plot is complex and densely interwoven without overly tortuous artificial twists and turns. You know throughout that there won't be a happy ending and the conclusion leaves few people standing. In a sense, the fictional town of Garrison is a credible state of mind. One can almost smell the dry-rot. The portrayal of an informal, yet powerful, hierarchy within the official police structure is all too believable. The direction does not insult one's intelligence by over-explaining everything; you best pay attention. The music is perhaps bigger than the film itself but appropriate in providing an animated but dark backdrop to what we see on the screen.

Summary: POWERHOUSE PERFORMANCES
Review: THIS FILM IS VERY ENTERTAINING,SUPERBLY ACTED,AND WELL MADE. STALLONE ACTS BETTER IN THIS FILM THAN HE USUALLY DOES (NOT THATHE'S A BAD ACTOR). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR VIEWERS WHO WANT TO SEE STALLONE IN A MORE MATURE ROLE OTHER THAN RAMBO.
Rating:
Summary: Smart And Thrilling!
Review: Starring Sylvester Stallone, Ray Liotta, and Robert DeNiro, Cop Land is a smart, fast paced, and highly entertaining thriller. With Stallone as a small town Sheriff who discovers his idols are involved in corruption with the mob, cover-ups, and bad cops. He must choose between defending his idol policemen, or serving justice. Excellent film making all the way!

Summary: this one was not that bad
Review: I just recently saw this movie and I dont understand why so many people hated it with so much passion. I thought it worked, I was never bored while watching it. Did anyone notice that Deborah Harry plays the bartender and her name is Delores? C'mon- A bartender named Delores in a film made by the same guy who made "Heavy", where Harry played a bartender/waitress named "Delores". Im pretty good with trivial matters.
