Cop Car
Kevin Bacon (The Following, HBO's Taking Chance, Mystic River) stars in director Jon Watts' delightful throwback thriller Cop Car. When two good-natured but rebellious young boys (James Freedson-Jackson and Hays Wellford) stumble across an abandoned cop car hidden in a secluded glade they decide to take it for a quick joyride. Their bad decision unleashes the ire of the county sheriff (Kevin Bacon) and leads to brutal consequences.
Critic Reviews:
- " The good thing about the movie is that, with its eighty minutes, it is concise and clear as it develops practically in real-time, which almost eliminates unnecessary pauses for exposure. " – Jorge Loser
- " This is a superb piece of film-making: tightly edited, fast-paced and incredibly entertaining. " – Grant Watson
- " Watching Cop Car is a piece of cake (that is if you aren't cursed with a weak stomach). It's a taut, propulsive midnight flick that puts its characters through the ringer without getting a speck of dirt on the audience's hands. " – Bernard Boo
