This tense action-thriller explodes with nonstop excitment and riveting star performancs! Sylvester Stallone stars as Freddie Heflin, the sherrif of a place everyone calls "Cop Land" --a small and seemingly peaceful town populated by the big-city police officers he's long admired. Yet something ugly is taking place behind the town's peaceful facade. And when Freddy uncovers a massive, deadly conspiracy among these local residents, he is forced to take action--and make a dangerous choice between protecting his idols...and upholding the law! Robert DeNiro (Heat), Harvey Keitel (Pulp Fiction) and Ray Liotta (GoodFellas) head an incredible cast in this critically acclaimed and unforgettable motion picture!
Editor's Note
In the idyllic bedroom community of Garrison, New Jersey, a community of NYPD officers takes refuge away from the big city's troubles while still enjoying all the kickbacks, cover-ups, and mob-owned banking privileges from across the river. But the code of silence is tested when an off-duty, drunk rookie cop from their ranks wrongfully kills two black men and the local sheriff begins to investigate. COP LAND is an ambitious ensemble drama notable for eliciting a strong performance (and a 40-lb weight gain) from Sylvester Stallone.
