Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)When I first saw COP back in 1988, I could not believe how tough and on-the-edge this action thriller was . . . not to mention the film's total lack of respect for political correctness. James Woods is brilliant and in rare form here. Be warned. Language, action and attitudes are frank. Characters are hardcore and flawed - this includes the hero - and nothing is censored for mainstream tastes.
If you're looking for a politically correct sissy movie like the forgettable PG-13 crap they make today, where all content is watered down so that some conservative soccer mom in Utah can enjoy herself, stay away. This movie means business and does not pull any punches . . . which is why I love it!
James Woods plays Lloyd Hopkins, a hard-boiled American police detective on the trail of a serial murderer who is victimizing women in Los Angeles. The pursuit leads him through a world that has become his own natural habitat . . a nasty, uncompromising world of crime, drugs, prostitution and male hustlers where "innocence kills," according to Hopkins, and continued exposure corrupts.
Paradoxically, this harsh world is also a world of love, secret admirers, romantic feminist poets and modern chivalry. But these elements are woven underneath the tough exterior.
I don't want to say too much about this movie, just this. BUY IT AND WATCH IT! Definitely recommeneded! But it's only for cool guys who love the hardboiled tough stuff! James Woods has never been better!
