No One Is Above The Law.<\/em><\/p>\nThe Overview:\u00a0 Beware of Spoilers\u2026<\/p>\n
James Mangold brought together an all-star cast to create a modern day western.\u00a0 Freddy Heflin (Stallone) is the Sherriff of Garrison, New Jersey.\u00a0 Garrison is a small town where a high percentage of the folks who live there are New York City police officers.\u00a0 They work in the city and then drive over the bridge to their nice safe little town.\u00a0 Most residents don’t know that a small group of the cops living in Garrison have mob connections.<\/p>\n
Freddy Heflin always wanted to be a New York City cop, but hearing loss in one ear made him un-hirable. Hefflin owes his job as Sherriff of Garrison to Ray Donlan (Keitel). Heflin admires Donlan and the New York cops that live in Garrison.\u00a0 They have a\u00a0 camaraderie that he wants to be part of.<\/p>\n
An Internal Affairs investigation involving Ray Donlan and several other police officers leads to Garrison, Although Heflin doubts the legitimacy of the complaints, he later discovers the concerns are legit and the corruption goes much deeper than anyone knew.\u00a0 \u00a0Heflin wants to do the right thing but finds himself alone and outgunned.<\/p>\n
When you look at the cast that Mangold brought together for this relatively low budget film, you know it goes back to the screenplay.\u00a0 Mangold created a rich story with multiple characters, all having an integral part in the tale.\u00a0 Many folks who thought Rocky was Stallone and doubted his acting ability were surprised to see him hold his own against heavyweights like De Niro and Keitel.\u00a0 Ray Liotta also shines in his role as Freddy’s lone cop friend who is intent on getting out of Garrison.<\/p>\n
Cop Land is a film that gets better with every viewing.\u00a0 I loved it and rate it 5 of 5 stars.<\/p>\n
