      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Cop Land matches its star-studded cast with richly imagined characters while throttling the audience with carefully ratcheted suspense, although it lacks the moral complexity of classic crime thrillers.

      Forrest S A great underdog story about sticking to your morals and making things right. The acting is absolutely superb from an all-star cast. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/15/24 Full Review Dave C A great cop crime thriller with plenty of action, a good cast, and a solid enough story. The more emotive passages lack depth of feeling, in true 90's action movie fashion, but at least Stallone really gives a good effort, unlike many of his other movies Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/16/24 Full Review Brian J Great, a different but fantastic Stallone! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review Allen R Great performances and intriguing premise that leaves you on the edge of your seat. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/24 Full Review Georgan G Despite some issues, this is a solid thriller. Lots of good acting, with the exception of Stallone whose idea for his character was to act like a door mat. The film also should have been shorter. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/19/23 Full Review Mark K This remains as one of my favorite movies. I'll give you a short review, but to the point. If you're into dirty cop movies with suspense and enjoy the actors in this film, you will absolutely love this movie, just like myself. AWESOME MOVIE!

      Jason Bailey Flavorwire 'Cop Land' holds up as a pretty good little thriller, a Sidney Lumet movie in a Martin Scorsese movie's clothing. Aug 26, 2017 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Mangold certainly knew what he was doing when he cast Keitel and De Niro. Rated: B- Apr 9, 2008 Full Review David Edelstein Slate Cop Land shares its leading man's slow-wittedness, but also his likability. Apr 9, 2008 Full Review Akos Peterbencze Vulnerable Man (Medium) Cop Land, with its powerhouse cast and script, remains an underappreciated genre piece. Jul 21, 2023 Full Review Wesley Lovell Cinema Sight “Cop Land” is an interesting film that allows its flaws to overwhelm it in the end while never realizing its full potential. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 7, 2023 Full Review Alistair Lawrence Common Sense Media While the movie has its flaws -- the plot can't seem to decide whether it wants to be a detective mystery or an organized crime drama -- what has aged well is Stallone's foray into making himself vulnerable as the meek and cowardly Freddy. Rated: 4/5 Oct 4, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
