Cop Land (1997)

Some of Hollywood’s best are gathered together for this tale of a small town Sheriff and his relationship with a tight knit group of city cops who are as corrupt as the day is long.
Stallone gives one of the best performances of his career, which is even more praiseworthy when you consider who he’s up against.
He brings the sensitivity and the heart to a film that builds slowly and purposefully, and remains engaging right to the very end.

Watched this last night.

'Twas great.

I like Sly. He doesn't know when to give up a franchise but when he's on he's on.

Can't wait for The Expendables 6.

Harvey Kietel was fantastic in this. So was Liotta.

Hard-boiled crime pulp at some of it's best.
