I wasn't too keen on the idea of Stallone being a leading character ahead of a hollywood frontrunner like Robert De Niro, but I am wrong. Stallone did an OUTSTANDING job as Sherriff Freddie of Garrison, NJ. I recommend this movie... Full review

Copland is a well made film with excellent entertainment value that dishes up the goods with panache and style.
James Mangold's literate, intelligent drama about police corruption across the river from New York, is a film that is involving, intricate and compelling.

I didn't remember it being this good a film the first time around.....The funny thing about "Cop Land" is....Admittedly, the best part of the film is the performances, but the plot and pacing work, too..... ... Full Review

No, but the movie works fairly well overall, and Stallone acquits himself reasonably nicely.
I think Cop Land at least merits a rental, for the movie works well enough to earn a viewing.
The movie would work better without such forced symbolism.

would have distracted from a weaker film.....All of the participants are great here, sharing stories from the set and discussing where Cop Land fits into their careers.....the flawed characters they've played, it's huge.....A scene that he shares with Keitel in a convenience store bristles with tension;....Stallone transformed his obscenely fit body into a formless blob for the film (which is what got all the press at the time) but he creates this character from the inside..... ...

Happily, the film works quite well, and Stallone is terrific in the lead.
Much has been made of Sylvester Stallone's attempt to eschew his macho hero persona and return to serious acting with the police drama "Cop Land" - he took no money up front, he put on 30 pounds for the role, he's on screen with the likes of Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel But in the end, none of that really matters.
