DVD of the Week: (6/16/2003): Violent Cop Violent Cop was Kitano& first film as a director, but he wound up helming the movie under slightly odd circumstances. The first scene in Violent Cop, easily the darkest and most unforgiving movie Kitano ever made, sets the movie's bleak tone: a gang of teenaged boys beating a homeless man senseless. The movie seethes with real cruelty -- not the stylized shootings of most cop movies, but one-on-one brutality that springs from genuinely ugly places inside the characters. www.thegline.com /dvd-of-the-week/2003/06-16-2003.htm   (1883 words)

Alien Nation Movie The fact that it is just a cop movie with aliens is what makes this movie a little groundbreaking. The cinematography, settings, script, and style all fall victims to the cop movie theme as they are all nothing to really write home about when compared to other police films. A routine cop thriller with a comedic sci-fi twist, Alien Nation> has two things working in its favor: Caan and Patinkin form a memorable duo, and the basic premise--as conceived by Rockne S. O'Bannon (who later developed the film as a TV series)--intelligently accounts for the sociological impact of an alien population. www.movie-pages.com /movie/alien-nation/B000059HAD   (1030 words)

Beverly Hills Cop (1984) There are a lot of classic ploys in the movie, such as the fact that Foley is a cool, street smart cop from Detroit, while the guys assigned to follow him are geeky white police officers from Beverly Hills, presumably not used to dealing with tough cops or tough criminals. Okay, so even though I claim to be pretty knowledgeable about the movies, I won't say that this is the original buddy cop movie because I'm sure there were some before it, but Beverly Hills Cop is quite possibly the most famous buddy cop series, with the probable exception of the Lethal Weapon series. What I like about Beverly Hills Cop is that, while it's falls into a sub genre that is a cliché in itself (by now, at least), it does something a little different in the way that it's structured. www.imdb.com /title/tt0086960   (848 words)

"Cop Land" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies Cop Land was not near as good a movie as I suspected, but had many original scenes and great actors which made the movie worth seeing.. I thought that "Cop Land" was a very good movie, and was surprised when I saw it; it wasn't the seventies action knockoff I thought it would be, but an entertaining drama with an interesting plot. Cop Land is the story of a small town sheriff named Freddy (Stallone), who tries to keep the peace in the face of corruption. www.christiananswers.net /spotlight/movies/pre2000/i-copland.html   (925 words)

WashingtonPost.com: 'Cop Land': Heavy Muddle They hang in a lounge -- one point made by the movie is that Cop Land, Cop Land is essentially a wonderful bar and grill land -- where they drink, curse, stick darts up each other’s noses and plot against each other. To prevent his railroading, the cops spirit him back to Cop Land where they mean to stash him until they can set him up in a new identity -- that’s a pretty thin device. What initiates the action of the film is that one of the cops -- Maury "Superboy" Babitch, well-played by Michael Rapaport -- accidentally guns down a couple of joy-riding black teenagers as he heads across the George Washington Bridge. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-srv/style/longterm/movies/review97/coplandhunt.htm   (691 words)

Showtime (2002) Plot Outline: A spoof of buddy cop movies where two very different cops are forced to team up on a new reality based T.V. cop show. "Showtime" is a step down for DeNiro, Murphy, and Russo as it stomps clumsily through its story about an all business detective (DeNiro) and an hammy wannabe actor uniform street cop (Murphy) who become the centerpieces of a reality TV show of the title name and a criminal investigation involving a sort of super gun. I have seen this movie and would like to comment on it www.imdb.com /Title?0284490   (691 words)

The Popkorn Junkie :: NARC "Narc" surprised me. I was not expecting to walk out as unsure as I was, and I certainly wasn't expecting to finally reach the conclusion that is was the best cop film I had ever seen. However, on the long drive home, I had time to reflect on the film and--by the time I arrived home--had reached the conclusion that "Narc" might be the best cop film of all-time, and that is a bold statement when you consider the plethora of fantastic cop films out there. I was really looking forward to this movie because of all the hype from critics, the great word-of-mouth and the fact that I'm a huge Ray Liotta fan. popkornjunkie.com /reviews/narc.html   (691 words)

SouthCoast Movie Guide: Narc If many cop-partner movies have an undertone of humor, even a splash of "The Odd Couple," this one is hard-bitten and grim: The team consists of Bad Cop and Bad Cop. In terms of its urban wasteland, the movie descends to a new level of grittiness. The movie's writer and director, Joe Carnahan, brings a rough, aggressive energy to the picture. www.southcoasttoday.com /calendar/narc.htm   (691 words)

Movie Review: Narc / Mountain Xpress / Asheville, NC Cop Drama Narc' s unforgettable opening sequence explodes at a no-holds-barred pace that then doesn't abate for the next 100 minutes of this mean, mesmerizing, adrenaline-charged, repulsive, violent and tragic bad-cop movie. Undercover narc Nick Tellis (Jason Patric, Incognito) chases a drug dealer through the vice-infested back streets of urban Detroit – where bullets fly, a uniformed cop dies begging for help as his blood waterfalls from him and a pregnant woman is hit in the belly by a ricocheting bullet that kills her unborn child. And that's what this movie is really about – the contagion of evil, and the moral complicity of men who crawl too close to the slugs in society's underbelly. www.mountainx.com /movies/n/narc.php   (691 words)

DVD Authority DVD Review of Violent Cop The action is quite good in Violent Cop, but the movie has some pretty good dialogue too, which moves the story along nicely. Violent Cop is presented in a 1.85:1 widescreen transfer, which is not enhanced for widescreen televisions. Then, there are cops like Detective Azuma, those officers who not only use violence, they practice the art of violence like a religion. www.dvdauthority.com /Reviews.asp?ReviewID=2962   (871 words)

Cop Land - Main COP LAND is the movie Sylvester Stallone just had to make, the movie which made him decide at the age of 50 to take a break from being a movie star and try being an actor. COP LAND is a serious drama about police corruption, not necessarily an action film. Freddy's only true ally is Gary "Figs" Figgis (Ray Liotta), the one cop who's moved outside the inner circles of COP LAND after losing his partner, the same officer who committed suicide in prison two years before. www.cinemareview.com /main.asp?movieid=089712   (1073 words)

Columns - Chaitanya Padukone - Scent of a super-cop “After making a movie on a legendary freedom fighter, Bhagat Singh, this time I am privileged to work with a legendary actor,” smiles Santoshi whose movie will prove to be a full circle for the Bachchan who first catapulted into stardom as the ‘angry young cop’ in Zanjeer. After a bit of prodding Santoshi confided that he was now making a mega-budget film called Khaki which would have Bachchan portraying a serious super-cop (a deputy commissioner of police) in sheer contrast to the wacky policewala portions in Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan. Meanwhile the Bachchan is believed to have discreetly opted out of this movie Police Force being directed by Madhur Bhandarkar. www.mid-day.com /columns/chaitanya_padukone/2002/october/32987.htm   (1073 words)

Rush Hour Movie Review by Anthony Leong " is the latest in this long line of buddy-cop movies. The pitch this time has a streetwise LAPD cop partnered with an Asian cop, which isn't all that original since it was already done in 1987's "Collision Course" that paired Jay Leno and Pat Morita as the unlikely crime-fighting duo. Watch the movie and cross them off as they appear on the screen. www.mediacircus.net /rushhour.html   (268 words)

sundaytimes.co.za :: Home of the Sunday Times :: South Africa's best selling newspaper :: The combination of tinsel-town veteran Harrison Ford and new golden-boy Josh Harnett promised to tap into that odd-couple buddy cop movies of yesteryear, but this movie is certainly no 48 Hours (1982), Lethal Weapon (1987) or dare I say Bad Boys I (1995) and II (2003). Hollywood Homicide: Lena Olin and Harrison Ford star in this buddy-cop action movie. In Hollywood Homicide, veteran cop Joe Gavilian (Harrison Ford) and his partner K.C. Calden (Josh Hartnett) are called in after a brutal murder of a rap group in a Los Angeles club. www.sundaytimes.co.za /lifestyle/movies/goodtimes/reviewhomicide.asp   (268 words)

Good Cop, Bad Cop, Buddy-Cop In a sense, this is completely understandable: The buddy-cop movie often has a fish-out-of-water element to it, and there's no easier shorthand for that than the exaggerated experience of American blacks. While the buddy-cop movie might seem to be a product of the '80s, it's actually a distant cousin of the screwball comedies of the '30s and '40s. Since then, the film's star, Jackie Chan, has made four more of these next-generation buddy-cop movies, some with a black co-star and some with a white co-star. www.weeklystandard.com /Check.asp?idArticle=2216&r=amunc   (268 words)

Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Hollywood Homicide at Epinions.com The movie obviously wanted to be something a little different by have buddy cops that lead separate lives with separate ambitions.

Car & Automotive DVDs One of the best car chase movies of the 80s, and perhaps the premiere Porsche chase film ever. Mitchum had a big hand in creating this cult favorite (which reportedly played in drive-ins around America for years), writing the script, producing the movie, and even composing and singing the movie's theme song, which became a radio hit. The preeminent moonshine movie, the 1958 film Thunder Road stars Robert Mitchum as a backwoods bootlegger in Tennessee, getting squeezed by both the federal government and organized crime. www.seriouswheels.com /car-dvd.htm   (268 words)

Forbidden City Cop Even though Forbidden City Cop ends nicely, the events in the last half of the movie feel a bit dull, and the movie suffers overall as a result. Getting back to the movie itself, Forbidden City Cop's first half is extremely funny. Chow's personailty and style is more than enough to make an average film a good one, but the problem is that we expect all of his movies to be great, and when (like Forbidden City Cop) they don't fully deliver, the viewer feels a bit disappointed. www.hkfilm.net /movrevs/forcop.htm   (268 words)

Ebony: Eddie Murphy: Hollywood's $2 billion man talks about his marriage, 'Beverly Hills Cop III' and the joys of fatherhood - Cover Story Although Murphy is at the pinnacle of his success, some critics continue to say (since Beverly Hills Cop II in 1987) the entertainer's movie career has been on the decline--even though his films do well at the box office. This movie, Murphy says, is "infinitely better than Beverly Hills Cop II" (which made about $300 million), and it's also different from the trilogy's first installment because Axel is more mature and no longer the wisecracking rookie cop. Murphy's ability to put people in the seats will be tested again on Memorial Day weekend when his 13th movie, the long-awaited Beverly Hills Cop III, opens nationwide, with co-stars Judge Reinhold, Hector Elizondo, Theresa Randle and Alan Young. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m1077/is_n8_v49/ai_15405354   (1536 words)

Starsky and Hutch London Movie Review Ben Stiller stars as David Starsky, a career-obsessed, overly uptight cop forever trying to live up to the memory of his super-cop Mom (“Your mother was the finest cop I ever knew”). Big screen adaptations of old TV shows over the years have ranged from the positively inspired (The Brady Bunch Movie) to the downright appalling (Lost in Space; The Beverley Hillbillies) and, as such, they’re difficult to predict. In short, Starsky and Hutch is definitely worth seeing and firmly establishes Stiller and Wilson as THE comedy duo of the noughties (or whatever we’re calling the 00s). www.viewlondon.co.uk /review_2001.html   (475 words)

Movie Review : Narc I feel that the movie as a whole would have been better if Liotta's character had been done away with, foregoing the immediate cookie cutter feeling of the good cop, bad cop routine. It's as if the writer had a great idea for an ending for a movie that involves a major plot twist, and then wrote the screenplay backwards, without ever reading it from the beginning to end to see if the plot twist was still really all that good. The plot is bogged down for the duration of the movie. www.moviesinreview.com /reviews/narc.htm   (46 words)

cobra Its amazing to me that a movie like this was even considered to be worthy of a theater, but in the 80's this was the kind of thing that happened a lot...tough cop movies. Stallone is Marion "Cobra" Cobretti, a tough ass cop who is a member of the "Zombie Squad", a sort of special forces for the LAPD. Cobra slams his car into reverse while in a high speed chase fires at his pursuers, then slams it back into drive and chases the other guys...without a drop in momentum or anything. members.tripod.com /Dante001/AH/cobra.htm   (46 words)

Japanese Movie Review Kite (1998) Yasuomi Umetsu The movie is about Sawa, a teen orphan whose parents are killed by crooked cop Akai, who then gets the bright idea to sexually molest the girl and turn her into his hired killer. "Kite", a movie about two young teen orphans who are raised and trained to be elite assassins by a crooked cop, takes some dents by way of boneheaded moves and character motivations only possible in Dumb Action Movies. The DAMC in question includes at least a dozen or so situations where characters have another character in their gun sight, but instead of just shooting them (and, most likely, ending our movie right there), the characters elect not to shoot for reasons supplied by DAMC. www.beyondhollywood.com /reviews/kite.htm   (616 words)

Angel Cop (1989) (V) At the start of Angel Cop we are introduced to a group of special police officers, with each character developing their own sometimes "cliched" personalities.

I have seen this movie and would like to comment on it us.imdb.com /title/tt0096816   (616 words)
