Cop Land.
10/10.
It\'s a film called \'Cop Land\', stars Sylvester Stallone, and has grimacing faces on the front cover. You think you\'re in for some typical action film. I was totally un-prepared for what it actually is, as it\'s really a drama which revolves around a conspiracy of a (fictional) town called Garrison, in New Jersey, in which most of the residents are of New York\'s NYPD. Without wanting to ruin anything, the twon is outside of NYPD jurisdiction, and there\'s some shady things going on.
It\'s a fantastic film, and what makes it even more striking is that Stallone plays completely against type for this film. He plays a quiet character called Freddy Heflin, who is the sheriff of Garrison, and is hearing-impaired. He\'s an absolute pussy, and is really soft-spoken. It\'s an ensemble cast, and Stallone for once acts really well. It\'s easily his best film. The storyline is riveting, and it\'s directed well. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn\'t seen it. I bought it off Play.com for �3, including delivery.
Excellent film.
