Cop Land
Freddy Heflin is the sheriff 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… From TMDB

positive · AI labelView post →Ray Liotta - 📽️ Cop Land (James Mangold, 1997) “You move diagonal. You jag.” Cop Land, which remains Mangold’s best film, relies on Liotta’s Figgsy as a moral grey between Sylvester Stallone and Harvey Keitel. Playing sweaty, raving, drunk, and high… Liotta is riveting as a man losing his purpose.
neutral · AI labelView post →"Cop Land" (1997) is Stallone's best movie and performance, and it's not even close.
positive · AI labelView post →Almost every actor in Cop Land looks like absolute shit and it really adds to how many of them are total slimeballs. Cannot believe I wrote this movie off when I was younger.
positive · AI labelView post →#JulyMovieChallenge #filmsky 7/6. Favourite Stallone movie. I don't have a favorite of his, I'm choosing this one because of the other actors 😬 Cop Land (1997)
neutral · AI labelView post →one of my favorite movie lines ever and it isnt even like a big moment in the movie is in the movie COP LAND when ray liottas character just loses his shit at stallone like "BEING RIGHT IS NOT A BULLET PROOF VEST MAN!!!" like damn thats true. you gotta remember that one
neutral · AI labelView post →Cop Land is a movie about a group of armed police officers trying to get Michael Rapaport from New Jersey to New York without anyone who hates him (or likes him) successfully murdering him, and it is a documentary. #CelebrityTraitors
neutral · AI labelView post →One fun fact I learned today is that before he went on to become an extremely serious filmmaker on things like Cop Land, Girl Interrupted, Logan and others, James Mangold got his start working for Disney, writing a Sunday night movie titled The Deacon Street Deer, and also co-wrote Oliver & Company.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tomorrow, Saturday evening at 7:00 pm Central 🕖 Join @copedog.bsky.social and me watching Cop Land (1997) Imo it’s not just an exceptional film, but also exposes how corruption in “police unions” - specifically the NYPD - is used to control each other…as well as us. A genuine must-see #filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →watching lots of cyclical arguments online for decades i always think about one of my favorite movie lines ever from the movie Cop Land (1997). halfway through the movie ray liottas character gets pissed off at sylvester stallones boy scout like naivete "BEING RIGHT IS NOT A BULLET PROOF VEST!" lol
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching this. It's Cop Land a movie with a strong cast and story of cop corruption. And hell it has Stallone #filmsky #copland #90s
positive · AI labelView post →RW: Cop Land (1997, dir. James Mangold) #Filmsky 📽️ Years since I've seen this, cracking film.
positive · AI labelView post →#JulyMovieChallenge @omacolt.bsky.social Jul 6 Favourite Stallone movie Cop Land (1997) — Stallone gained weight to play a quiet, tragic sheriff in a town of corrupt cops. He’s subtle and excellent, surrounded by De Niro, Keitel, and Liotta.
positive · AI labelView post →#NowWatching Cop Land (1997, d. James Mangold) Rewatch. What a fuckin BEAST of a film. Do you like never-above-the-title character actors? Well, here's about thirty of 'em at the top of their game.
positive · AI labelView post →📽️ Letterboxd Friday Last Four Watched MAGNOLIA - Still a favorite but, honestly, it’s too big for home viewing SERAPHIM FALLS - Gorgeous looking film that can’t find a satisfying ending THE BATMAN - My favorite opening film to a Batman series COP LAND - A great cast deserved a much better story
negative · AI labelView post →In terms of favorite shots in movies, this one from the ending of "Cop Land" starring Sylvester Stallone, Ray Liotta, and Harvey Keitel, is definitely my favorite. I think it just perfectly encapsulates the contrasts the movie is going for regarding the big city vs small town dynamics.
neutral · AI labelView post →Enough news for me. My soul can’t take it. Ordered food and decided on Cop Land for my evening film. 🍿 🍕 Have a safe and lovely Friday night Bluesky! Catch ya on the flip side! 💞 🦋
neutral · AI labelView post →Mangold delivered on this one and Cop Land! A Complete Unknown is good, but Inside Llewyn Davis, by the Coen brothers, is a better movie about that music scene. #hatm
positive · AI labelView post →Cop Land. I love this film. I also love Slyvester Stallone's performance in it.

neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatching COP LAND (1997) on Tubi, which is the most “hey it’s that guy!” movie *and* one of the rare “no cop can be good because policing is bad” movies vs the much more common “policing can’t be bad because this cop is good” movies. Plus, Ray Liotta shoves a dart up Robert Patrick’s nose. 5/5 ⭐️

neutral · AI labelView post →If you ever do watch a Stallone film, watch Cop Land. It’s terrific.
positive · AI labelView post →I can see why he's not everyone's taste. I think that First Blood is legitimately excellent; Cliffhanger is a very good action movie; Cop Land is a solid drama; and Over The Top, Tango and Cash, and Cobra are so silly and ridiculous that I can enjoy watching them. But not everyone's cup of tea.
positive · AI labelView post →Since Rocky always hung over the culture I feel like no one ever prepared me for how sweetly written and acted those films are? Everyone treats him like he's a meathead but so much of his work is very well done, like his acting in the first Rambo film and later in Cop Land. + a fantastic writer

neutral · AI labelView post →Just need to point out these movies had De Niro and have all come out in the past 30 years: • Jackie Brown • Meet the Parents • Heat • Wag the Dog • Cop Land • Casino • Joker
neutral · AI labelView post →And while I’m thinking about it, I highly recommend the 1997 James Mangold movie Cop Land. It stars an ensemble cast led by Sylvester Stallone (well-before MAGA brainrot) Ray Liotta, & Harvey Keitel. It’s about Stallone as the meek chief of police in a small town heavily-populated by NYPD officers.
positive · AI labelView post →i guess "Creed" counts as a Rocky movie, so just to avoid everyone else that's saying "Cop Land", I will say "Demolition Man", which is exactly the kind of big stupid fun you want in an early 90s big stupid fun action movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →OUTLAND is the next movie we record for GV and it's because I thought we'd already covered it! Part of our Weird Westerns theme month. We just did COP LAND and my co-host fell in love with it. This is a killer month for LAND movies! #filmsky #moviesky 📽️🎬
neutral · AI labelView post →This is how I feel about John Oliver no longer talking about underreported local news stories with national implications behind them. Also, Cop Land is a great movie that I highly recommend.
positive · AI labelView post →Fav film from the year 67, 77, 87, and 97? 67 - Cool Hand Luke (by so much) 77 - Pete’s Dragon (i am sentimental slop) 87 - The Princess Bride (stiff competition tho!) 97 - Cop Land (film that exposed cop gangs and eventually also put Weinstein behind bars for good)
positive · AI labelView post →Similarly, I felt robbed when "Fanfare for the Common Man" did not appear on the soundtrack to Cop Land (1997). I mean, that concept was basically the theme of the entire movie. And goddammit the composer is Aaron COPLAND.

neutral · AI labelView post →Quick shoutout to COP LAND, though. That role played to strengths we didn’t know Stallone had + of course, Mangold and a supporting cast that could not be more solid. But yes, Arnie is the movie starriest of the two.
positive · AI labelView post →Yes, he has one because Rocky won best film, but I felt his performance deserved an acting gong. As with Creed, that was just wrong & he got ignored for Cop Land. I also think Bill Murray was robbed... Sean Penn... Sean freaking Penn... That was nonsense... But it's an opinion.

Cop said “what’s that?” I looked, said it was a beer, and bam! Got roughed up and arrested like that. This guy better SUE. That sucks. Damn.

positive · AI labelView post →"I offered you a chance when we could have done something, I offered you a chance to be a cop, and you blew it! You blew it." Cop Land is such an underrated film; it's disappointing we didn't see Stallone take on more roles like this.
positive · AI labelView post →Richie Aprile was a great character. He was in Mean Streets too, a favourite film of mine. Have you see Cop Land? Great film that, some Sopranos actors in that
positive · AI labelView post →Cop Land is one of Stallone’s best movies and performances, and a film that doesn’t get enough love really. I’ll give this a shot, for sure.
positive · AI labelView post →I’ve just been watching a bunch of movies in general. The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly. Cop Land. Battles Without Honor and Humanity. Just to name a few recents. Started Tarkovsky’s “Stalker” last night, will probably finish it tonight. Might watch a Wong Kar-wai film next
