The Nutty Slaughterfest Copshop is a Nasty
In this day and age, it’s not simple to get a happy shoot-off. The sub gender has long been somewhat stale,
meaning that new attempts either attempt to recreate previous tropical species or are disliked. (There appears to be a John Wick want-tobe for each John Wick.) And then the entire point about morality is: become too real and a population that is already sensitive to the actual world of weapons and glorified slaughter, maybe you will shut down, or perhaps pee away. In this perspective, the Copshop of Joe Carnahan lives in an ideal Goldilocks area for films about guys who block their brains. It’s smart, but not adorable, brutal but not sad, but not cartoonic.
The film is being made almost completely inside a remote police station in the town of Gun Creek, Nevada,
where Teddy Murretto (Frank Grillo), a wounded, man-haired sleazebag called, has locked up after intentionally hitting rookie police officer Valerie Young (an exceedingly likable Alexis Louder). Teddy is running away from home and thinks that in the middle of nowhere there will be a police station where he can safely hide. A mobbed-up politician who has crossed all the wrong people. Sadly, the guy who chases Teddy, the experienced Viddick (Gerard Butler) bounty chaser, has a similar notion. He pretends to be drunken, wipes a police vehicle, and winds in front of Teddy’s cell.
This is an unwavering arrangement because the angular, fierce Grillo and the fleshy, friendly Butler excellently play various scuzzballs. Every actor also has a characteristic of everyone which director Carnahan works well beneath the surface. (The star of Carnahan’s delightful, unsurprising science fiction movie, Grillo, should be mentioned, Boss Level,
which released the Hulu under-the-radar a few months ago
might be recognized in regular times as having a very excellent year, as an actor and director.) As a consequence, we don’t really sure for whom we can root
the harassed and frantic partner who seems to lie down in her teeth, or the sensitive, apparently honest blood murderer
However, we clearly figure out for whom we are not rooting when another murderer,
Anthony Lamb (a cackling, psychotic Toby Huss), turns a cupshop into a chopshop and lays the waste of the whole station. It is better not to go into too many specifics of the story
particularly since one of the Copshop’s genres is that one doesn’t really know who will appear unexpectedly or who the next will be. Just suppose that Valerie — who is also a rookie, has a keen wit, a fast drawer, and is adept at ammunition
ends up trapped in the cells of Teddy and Viddick when Lamb sets them on siege. So it’s Teddy against Viddick, Valerie against both and Lambert against all three.
Copshop could have been great as an intellectual fight for the will of the foursome; the four performers are all superb, and each appears to be another square in the famed moral grids of Dungeons & Dragons. Carnahan likes the over-the-top action and turns this modest, two-story police station into a butcher,
springing shocks from his characters and staging sequences with acrobatic weapons, by utilizing the physical topography. The filmmaker also likes his double crosses, so we never really know the next thing to happen. The result is a film in which it seems like anything that not only keeps us watching but also keeps us amused, more crucially. It’s nice to discover one that recalls films like these,
which should be enjoyable, in an action film scene embroiled in gloomy
direct to VOD knockoffs, or bloated spectacles, which are self-important.
