Top CriticMangold certainly knew what he was doing when he cast Keitel and De Niro.

Top CriticMangold is something of a pseudo-Scorsese.
04/09/08
Top CriticIt's pretty funny, actually, that Stallone gained 40 pounds to play this role, and what the movie needs more than anything else is to eat a salad and do some sit-ups.
04/09/08
Top CriticAlthough too simplistic in its good-guys/bad-guys approach to morally and emotionally ambiguous material, Cop Land emerges as an absorbing and dramatic yarn about exposing the evil doings of some of New York's finest.
04/09/08
Top CriticA solidly entertaining drama that stays true to the independent spirit of its filmmakers
04/09/08
Top CriticAt its heart, the movie has a good story to tell: the lumbering oaf who’s not nearly as stupid and not nearly as gutless as all the hot dogs from the big city think.
04/09/08
Top CriticThe movie's no roller-coaster ride, but there isn't a boring moment either.
04/09/08
Top CriticThis is a good filmthat could have been great if not for an act of well-intentioned, but misguided casting.
04/12/02
Top CriticNearly down for the count in the movie ring, Stallone isn't just back in the fight. He's a winner.
05/11/01
Top CriticA compelling, if imperfect, motion picture.
01/01/00
Top CriticWhatever its limitations, Cop Land has talent to burn.
01/01/00
Top CriticThough at first Cop Land seems as if it will be an ensemble piece, it is, in fact, Stallone's movie.
01/01/00
Top CriticWritten and directed by James Mangold, the drama is dense but misses the moral complexities and grit, not to mention the oomph, of its urban predecessors.
01/01/00
Top CriticA movie with such a promising concept, so poorly executed, that it begs to be remade.
01/01/00
Top CriticOh, the tyranny of being serious about your art: It's a shame when an actor like Sylvester Stallone, who's always at his most appealing when he just hunkers down and lets himself be a big galoot, feels he has to make a bid for respectability.
