Cop Ratings & Reviews
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
With a deliriously great final moment, Cop is an excellent Los Angeles neo-noir. Fans of the three main James (Harris, Woods, Ellroy) should definitely take note.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
The finale is so unresolved that the film practically insists that the important aspect is the journey, not the outcome.
TV Guide
Woods takes us on a singularly unpleasant ride, but it is always an insightful and fascinating one.
Variety
Variety Staff
A modestly executed, off-target police drama giving actor James Woods another outlet for his compellingly schizophrenic persona.
Fantastica Daily
Chuck O'Leary
A lurid police procedural with James Woods at his manic best.
Moviehole
Caffeinated Clint
Another tour-de-force for James Woods
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
This violent drama will do little to improve the public's understanding of the men in blue.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
Cop might have worked better if it had been a 20 minute movie.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Far and away the best thing about it is Mr. Woods, who served as co-producer and demonstrates a clear understanding of what makes great movie detectives great.

Scott Weinberg
James Woods does his thing, and it's a lot of fun to behold.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
An exciting, well-acted but somewhat muddled thriller set in LA.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Woods was born to play this role.
