• STALLONE FLEXES HIS ACTING MUSCLES - KILLS CAREER!
  Copland is a great film. It has aged beautifully and is without doubt up there with the first Rocky outing as Stallone's best movie to date. In the process of gaining weight and really flexing his acting muscles as the shambling, deaf and washed up police cheif of Copland, the former Italian Stallion quite literally 'killed' his career. The film bombed at the cinema but found it's natural home on video/dvd.
  It's definately worth a second look. Sly more than holds his own in the heavyweight company of... more info

• Stallone in a good movie?? .... whatever next?
  I cant believe it, Stallone is in a great movie. This only happens once every 10 years or so but this is it. The previous was ...... First Blood I think (not the appaulling Rambo sequels but the original First Blood alone).

• Copland has a place on my shelf
  Every time I hear people saying that Sylvester Stallone can't act, I'm inclined to want to believe them. I think it's the dead sounding voice of his, that thick accent that he's never worked to get rid of. However, there are two movies of his where he is at the top of his game.

Filled with a cast full of high profile actors and yet a bomb at the box office... more info

• Directors Cut spoils a good film
  Cop Land is an excellent modern Western. With great performances from the all-star cast. The original cut of the film had a great pace about it which was unfortunetly lost in this plodding directors cut. The ominous, brooding pace of the original made the ending of the film all the more satisfying. I would recommend buying the original cut of Cop Land as fans of the film may be disappointed with this version.
