	Media	Author	Review
		Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"Cop Land isn't a perfect piece, but it's sober, wise and adult."
		Janet Maslin The New York Times	"Everywhere the camera turns in this tense and volatile drama, it finds enough interest for a truckload of conventional Hollywood fare. Whatever its limitations, Cop Land has talent to burn."
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"The characters are all over the map, there are too many unclear story threads, our sympathies are confused, and there's an unconvincing showdown in which the story's lovingly developed ambiguities are lost (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Mangold has directed 'Cop Land' from his own ardent, audacious script, and despite some draggy, overdeliberate moments, it's the strongest piece of material to come Stallone's way since he invented himself as Rocky 21 years ago"
		Ian Freer Empire	"A good effort, but the star power on show throws the proceedings off kilter somewhat (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Keith Phipps AV Club	"An encouraging and entertaining sophomore effort for Mangold"
