IMDB

Cop Land has an interesting premise: Sylvester Stalone is a sheriff of a small town that is solely inhabited by police officers and their families. A police officer shoots some cracked up black guys, thinking they had a gun and were going to shoot him. He fakes jumping off of a bridge and is hiding out with his uncle, Ray. Stallone is trying to get to the bottom of it and nail Ray.
As interesting as that might sound, the movie just drags with very little action. I was, at first, excited to see this movie. I heard good things about it, but I just didn't get into it, obviously. The characters spend a lot of time emoting and not enough time having gun fights and acting tough.

4.5/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
