Copshop: We've had sieges of police stations before but his film has some original angles. Teddy (Frank Grillo) punches cop Alexis (Valerie Young) to get himself arrested, he fleeing from hitmen. But one of the killers, Bob (Gerald Butler) feigns drunkenness to end up in the same lock-up. An interesting station, comedians, slackers even a corrupt cop. Actually corrupt cops are everywhere in this film. Things get even more interesting for Teddy, Bob and Alexis as a rival hitman, Anthony (Toby Huss) arrives at the copshop, Anthony is truly psychotic, carrying a Bugs Bunny Balloon and sounding like Foghorn Leghorn. An internal siege develops with cells, narrow passages and an open pln squad roo becoming the battleground. Some savage violence and indiscriminate killing though this is leavened by by a streak of dark humour throughout Copshop. The tension is maintained and the film has a touch of early Tarantino about it, especially the dialogue. An intriguing thriller. Directed/Co-Written by Joe Carnahan. 8/10.

Kind of like assault on prec 13 but modern. My only gripe is the actress she seems way to young for the role. An older lady would be better. Gerald butler is doing his thing...he's dull but the cop back and forth is what I enjoyed.

I watched probably 7-10 similar police-station stand-off movies in my lifetime. They are all the same. A few last ones were pretty decent, including horror-comedy ones that tried to be different. This is is incredibly boring. Nothing special about it. Lacking acting, lacking fight/gun scenes. It's a slowish paced with nonsense talk and subpar gun scenes are are designed for PG13 crowd. 3/10 and that's being very generous and all go to 2 main actors.

Sadly, i didn't have the great time that many others seem to have had. This is tarantino, very light. The ending is drawn out and very weak. However, alexis louder, new to me, is really very good as the rookie cop. And the only character with a brain. I hope to see more of her work. Why do cops have to be so stupid.

You have two great actors in Gerard Butler and Frank Grillo and you waste them for most of the movie. Instead it has a super hero black female cop who's also a soldier, a doctor, a cowboy and also calls herself a man. I kid you not, this is how extremely talented and ridiculous her character is in the movie.
