Review – Cop Land

This gritty tale of police corruption will probably go down in history as the film Stallone gained all that weight for. I didn’t think he looked all that fat, but he did turn in a good performance as the sheriff of a suburban enclave of corrupt NYPD cops. Though the rest of the performances were pretty run-of the-mill (Harvey Keitel as a brutal thug, Ray Liotta as a borderline psycho, and so on), it had just enough of a plot to hold it together. Mildly amusing
