An underrated gem that we absolutely loved! RIP Ray Liotta
I’ve been rooting you guys to react to this for a while. Finally. Glad y’all enjoyed it. Another great cop film, if you haven’t done yet, is Street Kings. Another stacked cast starring Keanu Reaves and Forest Whitaker.
Finally someone hears my plea! I have been recommending this to different reactors for over a year and I am glad you and Sam were the first. Without a doubt one of my top 3 Stallone movies and your reaction was as I expected from such good honest reactors. Glad you enjoyed it. I never miss it when it is on.
I've never understood why this film isn't mentioned or talked about more. It might be the very definition of underrated.
Besides "Rocky," this is one of my favorite Stallone roles.
It is a classic film and actually one of my favorite Sylvester Stallone films besides Rocky and First Blood. Thank you for the tribute to Ray Liotta who is a great actor and is missed.
@@757GLG This film is one of Stallone's best performances.
Cop Land was the film that finally got Stallone the respect he deserved as a serious actor, and not as just some action movie hero. Whether they liked the film or not, most critics agreed Stallone proved himself here. And what a great cast. RIP Ray Liotta.
So well deserved for Stallone!
This role actually hurt Stallone's career. Given the cast the movie dramatically underperformed at the box office. Stallone struggled to get any roles for years after Cop Land. Ultimately Stallone had to return to Rocky (2006) to get his career back on track.
@@bluecollartradesman715 Yeah, it's wild how Stallone was so great in this film, but Hollywood wouldn't hire him to do anything else like it. Hacky action crap if anything at all. I think everyone, Stallone included, took the wrong lessons from Cop Land. Seemed like they decided "never make anything like this again" instead of "make more stuff like this as often as possible!"
@@bluecollartradesman715 it actually made money (67 million on a 15 million budget) and even was a critical success but even stallone went on record to say it messed up his career for a long time. he started doing straight to vhs movies & spy kids 3. he did do a movie I loved called Get Carter but it wasn't a box office success. Rocky Balboa, Rambo 4 & the expendables put him back on the map though
@@rxtsec1 I never said it didn't make money. I said it underperformed. The studios were expecting it to make more than it did. Unfortunately Stallone carried that burden. It's funny how the entertainment business operates.
Finally, someone does a 'Cop Land' reaction. You two rock. Also, R.I.P., Ray Liotta.
it's an ok film
not bad not good
@@CR055FIRE This is an ok comment; not bad, not good.
Mostly not good though...
@@nullunit 😂

Thanks so much! ❤️
I still think "All the best girls were taken" is the best line delivery in Sylvester Stallone's whole career
This film gets better with age. Definitely underrated.
This movie was great when it was released.
Yes! Can’t believe we’d never heard of it
At the time it was all about the ensemble cast. A downer for me somewhat. First thing that came to mind after the passing of Ray.
@@jackcade68 I agree and it only seems greater with age is beca use movies today don't compare
For a long time i thought the story was way too far fetched but when i found out it was based on reality i appreciated it a whole lot more. I did always liked Sly's part.
This movie is incredibly underrated. I’ve been trumpeting it for years and in the last few years it finally started to get the recognition it deserves.
As you should! So glad we had the opportunity to watch it now
We owe it to you. 😂
I met Robert Patrick at a convetion here in Sweden and got his autograf. I watched this movie when it came out 5 times in one week becuase i liked it. So i asked him about how it felt working on Cop Land with so many famous actors and what he thought about the ending. He said: "It was a great sqript and i never thought i was going to work with so many great actors. The ending is something we never seen in a movie. I am very proud of that movie and probably my best work i have done".
For me it is a good movie that not alot of people have seen. It is a good movie, but i think they have to much characters and if you watch it for the first time, it's very hard to follow. That is why sometimes you have to watch a movie again to see how it follows and how good it is.
Alot is not a word.
That's great...I personally disliked him agreeing to get beat up by Liotta..considering his iconic T1000 role
I know he has no ego but after a point you must refuse to being beaten up in movies
This was one of those films where the actors all knew how good it was before filming. They all jumped for roles, no matter how small or how little they were to be paid. I LOVE those kinds of films. They are special and quite rare.
When Liotta tells Stallone that a Cop racing to a crime scene "You wanna come at these guys head on?!?! No! You move diagonal...". I always remember that line as a metaphor for life.
"You wanna come at these guys head on?!?! No! You move diagonal..."
@@apb672 Thanks for the save. Great line for sure.
@@apb672 You Jag.
Wow, what a nice surprise. Copland is somewhat of a hidden gem of a Film that very few people talk about these days.
Great movie with an unbelievable cast and a strong performance from Stallone. Criminally overlooked film
Stallone was really good in the role for he's totally playing against his normal type and he let himself get pudgy for the role instead of being ripped like usual.
Such a stacked cast! Loved watching Stallone in this film
This movie is basically a modern day western. My favorite Stallone movie by far.
Reminds me of 3-10 To Yuma. Existentialism: “A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do”
@@Rob-eo5ql Don't know if your talking about the original. The remake however was directed by James Mangold, the director of Copland!
Ray Liotta the best ever.
Such a fantastic movie! Everyone is great - Stallone, Liotta, Keitel - everyone. This and "Girl, Interrupted" put director James Mangold on the map. And for the record, the film didn't get "mixed" reviews (they were generally good), nor was it originally intended to be a western. The town of Garrison is inspired by Mangold's home town of Washingtonville, NY - a home to many NYPD cops - and the film was based on his experiences living there.
We’ll definitely need to check out more of Mangold’s work!
@@samantha_schmitt Lots of good choices - Logan, 3:10 To Yuma, Identity, Ford V. Ferrari, etc.
It was, however, something of a commercial flop (although it did turn a profit) especially considering the cast involved - and deserves waaaay more love and recognition than it gets.
@@samantha_schmitt IMDb says he has ELEVEN upcoming projects 😳
Some scenes were actually filmed in Washingtonville in 96. I was attending Washingtonville MS at the time, and saw the film in the theaters in Newburgh when it came out in August of 97.
Cop Land ... Sylvester Stallone's most underrated movie ... so good.
The 1997 Stockholm Film festival gave Stallone the Best Actor award for "Cop Land", which is well deserved, I think.
Rest in peace. Ray liotta.
Shut the fuck up he ain’t dead quit spreading lies
One of Stallones greatest roles 👏
Looking forward to "Lock Up"!
Yes Lock Up!
Great movie
I'm very pleased that you chose to watch this film, and that you liked it so much. Copland came out near the end of the summer of 1997, which was a summer where there was a lot of movies I was very excited for, but was disappointed by so many of them. Jurassic Park 2, Speed 2, Batman & Robin, Air Force One, The Fifth Element, Contact, G.I. Jane, a new action movie with Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts...I was eagerly anticipating each of these films, and they were all disappointing to one degree or another. This low-key drama was one of the best of the lot, which I was not expecting. (For the record, the movies that summer that I did like were Men In Black, Face/Off and Con Air.)
You probably noticed that the director was James Mangold. He's become one of my favorite filmmakers, even though he doesn't have a particularly distinctive style--he just makes one solid, entertaining flick after another. Logan, Ford vs Ferrari, 3:10 To Yuma, Walk The Line, Identity and Kate & Leopold are all great. This guy doesn't have the public profile of Christopher Nolan or Quentin Tarantino, nor does he specialize in any particular genre. Give him a good script and decent actors, and he'll deliver a winner with very little fuss.
I enjoyed Air Force One, I didn't mind the first half of Jurassic Park 2. The second half (San Diego) totally lost my interest. Speed 2 and Batman & Robin sucked big time. I didn't care for the Fifth Element when it came out, but I don't mind it now. Maybe that's just because modern Bruce Willis movies suck. I didn't expect to like Men In Black but actually liked it. I always liked Cop Land.
Air Force One is amongst one of Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman's best performance.
@@nuhashahmed7692 Well, gotta disagree there. I don't fault the acting from either of them, but it's pretty far from their best.
@@CineRam Atleast not Gary Oldman! I genuinely couldn't believe he was a Brit! Because of how convicingly he played a Slavic insurgent.
Completely agree about Mangold. He's got a great body of work.
AMC had my favorite promo for this movie when they first aired it:
"Who would have guessed
in a cast full of heavyweights
that Stallone would steal the show"
I love the late Ray Liotta's performance in this so much. Wonderfully complicated character.
Stallone steals the show in a very understated and compelling performance, whilst acting some very big names off the stage - he should have got an Oscar nod at least. Great film.
DON'T FORGET! "METHOD MAN's" 1st ACTING WAS IN THIS FILM. (He was the Roof-Top Thug that threw Joey Randone off the roof)
Wasn't he arrested after that ?
This was a movie I went into opening weekend "Blind" and ended up being impressed by both the cast and the story. It's hard to believe this was director James Mangold's second film. The style and pacing is the work of a veteran director.
I am so glad you decided to react to this movie. I've been actively trying to get reactors to watch this thing and I am thrilled that this is in front of me right now.
Thank you so much for this.
Clicked immediately
@@thebigbop5866 yeah, I thought “ohh, they’re gonna like this one”😁
Thanks so much for the support! I hope you enjoyed it!
RIP and long live Ray Liotta (December 18, 1954 - May 26, 2022), aged 67
You will always be remembered as a legend.
I’ve seen this movie recommended so often on various reaction channels and finally I get to see someone do it! I saw it in the theater originally, and thought it was a very good film, and interesting role for Stallone.
I imagine that ending would be something else to see in a packed theater! Hope you enjoyed the reaction!
One of my favorite cop movies. A truly underrated gem! The 90s were special for that kind of movie.
Love Liotta and Sly on this, and others cool actors like Robert Patrick, the legend Harvey Keitel, etc. Lot of Sopranos guys in this movie too.
Pride and Glory is another cool cop movie you could react.
Great reaction as always!
Cool movies but i wouldn't say they are "cool cop movies" unless you admire crooked pigs being worse than the criminals they are paid to pursue. Good movies for waking people up and showing them how dirty these people are capable of being.
Fantastic reaction to a movie I only saw the one time! Better than I remembered! Man, this cast really was stacked! Harvey Keitel is the ULTIMATE dirty cop in "Bad Lieutenant" (1992 - same year he did "Reservoir Dogs"). De Niro's first movie with Scorsese is the excellent "Mean Streets" (1973)......and that movie stars Harvey Keitel as well....these guys have a long history together (and indeed, Keitel appears in "The Irishman"). And 8:24 that's Cathy Moriarty....De Niro's wife in "Raging Bull"! Underrated actress! Really enjoyed rewatching it with you, I'll have to rewatch it in full soon. Thanks, S &D!
I watch this movie every chance I can, it's so good. This is the movie that made me really appreciate Stallone.
The casting of Stallone in this film is so good. At the time he was thought of as nothing more than an action movie actor and seeing him next to all these highly respected actors already made him the underdog in the cast. I went into it thinking why is he in this when a better actor could do the job better. I was completely wrong and he more than proved himself as a good actor. That dismissal of him as an actor at the time perfectly parallels the character's role as the Sheriff of Copland who is dismissed as a joke who no one really respects among a town full of "real" cops. Great casting.
It actually reminded me of the pre-Rocky actor Stallone, where he appeared in cop shows like Kojak (1975) and Police Story (1975) or the movie Farewell, My Lovely (1975).
i completely agree.
One of the best movies in 1997, completely overshadowed by Titanic.
Well you know I requested this a few times and I'm over the moon you did it and reacted to it so well, it truly is a movie that deserves to be on the radar way more than it is. Not sure why so many great movies of 1997 like this, Jackie Brown, L.A. Confidential, Donnie Brasco, Conspiracy Theory, Breakdown and several others just don't get the spotlight much these days.
One of Stallone's best performances!
I always thought De niro looked like an aged Rupert Punkin from the king of comedy in this film you guys should check that movie out it was a huge influence on 2019's Joker
PS RIP Ray Liotta
Never even thought of it til you just said, I totally see it.
My favourite reaction so far by TBR and Sammantha, they genuinely did not know what to expect from this film, Keep up the good work guys.
Interestingly, Stallone later said that the film was bad for his career. It got good critical reviews and made money, but not a huge amount. Stallone felt that it increased the perception at the time that his ability to make blockbusters was over. I've got to disagree with Stallone about this. It was nice to see him doing something different and his performance was generally lauded, but he seems to value a super high grossing movie over critical praise
Actually Sly feels negative about Cop Land because Harvey Weinstein screwed him over. He thought it would be the beginning of a career Renaissance and that he'd be able to do more dramatic roles. Weinstein promised Sly things and didn't deliver on them (probably because the box office wasn't high on this).
When Stallone put on weight for this movie. Made me realise he is dedicated an in love with his job.
The script writing for him being deaf at the end from gunshots really set the atmosphere unlike other movies
Another movie that has a great cast and has flown under the radar is Sleepers. It has Brad Pitt, Dustin Hoffman, Robert De Niro, and Kevin Bacon. It is... uncomfortable subject matter to say the least, but it is worth it.
Very uncomfortable subject matter indeed! But I think Sleepers would be worth a watch for them with the incredible cast and story telling.
It's a rough movie, but very good.
Stallone loved the script so much he was willing to forgo his usual wage (around 20m a movie at the time) and work for minimum wage to get this made on a smaller budget. Once he'd done so, everyone else got on board for pretty much the same deal and the film got made for around 16m in total.
I worked at Planet Hollywood NY (the original on 57th st) when this movie was being filmed. Stallone used to watch the dailies (what they shot that day) in the PH screening room downstairs so that the production could save money. You'd know when he was there because all of our managers would be on edge.. LOL.. They were nice enough to give us employees passes to the Ziegfield theater premiere and the wrap party.
the Director James Mangold has also made many more spectacular films that include Girl Interrupted, Identity, Walk the Line, 3 10 to Yuma, Logan, was nominated for the Best Film Academy Award for the movie Ford v Ferrari, and hes lined up to Direct the next Indiana Jones film. Another great vid, im glad you guys love the film!
He no doubt has his fans but what you said about Michael Rappaport extends to all his roles. He basically just plays Michael Rappaport in every movie and in all honesty I find him to be a very grating performer. It's like nails on a chalkboard the longer he's on screen. Kind of like Jay Baruchel who also just plays himself in everything. Maybe that's a bit harsh but I stand by what I said.
If you guys have never seen High Noon, you need to, not only because it is deservedly considered a classic Western, but because I consider Copland an heir successor to it, with Stallone as an unlikely Gary Cooper and Liotta as a VERY unlikely Grace Kelly.
This might legitimately be a case of a cast being TOO stacked. It's an ensemble, and it's harder to keep up with than even a regular large cast because every single person is a recognisable face, and often a name. Even beyond the main (huge) cast, there's all kinds of The Wire actors in the weeds. It's nuts.
Anyway, great movie
I think you can roll almost twenty deep into the cast before you hit someone even sort-of unknown. Hell, Method Man himself is in this movie and it's for a thirty second part!
Stallone got in the worst shape of his life for this role. He is still in better shape than 98% of Americans.
I'm glad you liked it!❤
Still one of my favorite Stallone movies!
But please look at it this way: you not instantly knowing whats going on is a pretty good sign, isn't it?
It would be boring if you could foresee everything that will happen. This is a rather small scale movie, no huge explosions and so on, just a tight crime story that keeps you guessing and on the edge on your seats!
Don't feel bad about getting fooled. The first time I saw it in the theater I missed a lot.
You watch it again and it gets even deeper.
Nice reaction kids
Great reaction RIP Ray Liotta
This is such a great movie. One of Stallone's top 3 performances IMO, a stellar cast, and a hell of a story.
Great reaction to a great film!
The next hidden gem that needs a look at is a 1995 film called "Strange Days"...that also has a great cast, a great story line and was also over shadowed...
I like to consider myself as somewhat of a movie buff. As a child of the 70s and 80s, I think I’ve seen pretty much most of the movies that you guys have reviewed so far. I love watching reaction videos and I do follow some other people on UA-cam to see their reactions. I discovered your page a few months ago, and I gotta say that I thoroughly enjoy your page and your reviews the most. Both of you guys are so genuine and authentic. And watching these movies over with you is really an absolute joy. You guys don’t try to be too witty with sarcastic remarks by making fun of anything you’re watching. You both just immerse yourself in the films and then you’re after thoughts about the movies you’ve just watched are very insightful. I just really enjoy watching your reactions and seeing your different point of views and your spin of the films that you’ve watched. Whether I’ve already watched the movie or not, I tend to find something new in your videos and that’s super cool! Really looking forward to following you guys some more in your future videos. In essence, thank you so much! You’ve got a fan! 🎭🎬🎥🎞🙌🏼
The scene where they try to kill Michael Rappaport in the pool and he gets away is one of the amazing modern noir scenes to me. IT reminds me of a similar scene from the movie "Heat". Of coure the climactic shootout at the end is such a killer showdown. Love it.
I remember seeing this in the theater and being into it. The performances from everyone, including Stallone are stellar. Love the tension, the cast, the dialogue, the scenes between Stallone and Deniro. Very underrated flick. Stallone definitely held his own. Plus, Ray Liotta was a show stealer as always. He will be missed.
Other Liotta classics to check out; Unlawful Entry (1992), No Escape (1994), Turbulence (1997), Forever Mine (1999), Narc (2002), Control (2004).
@@LarryFleetwood8675 I've seen all of those except Forever Mine and Control. I loved Unlawfully Entry and No Escape. Turbulence was a blast when it came out. Has some bad 90's CGI but Liotta killed it in that role. He's always great in Something Wild.
Yes that is Robert Patrick who played the T1000 in Terminator 2, as well as lots of other roles.
I was lucky enough to see this in theaters. Been a LONG time since I've seen it, but I remember thinking very highly of it. Man, now I need a rewatch!
Awesome one of my faves definitely a hidden gem which as you say is weird considering the cast. Although looking at what was released in 97 it was a massive year for blockbuster's from Titanic and Liar Liar to Con Air.
So wild that the consensus seems to be this is a hidden gem with such a stacked cast! Loved every minute of it!
Mr Schmitt it just one hidden hoodie logo and zipper away from being a creepy floating head. DO IT, man, you know you want to. Also nice to see you discovering "Copland", one of my top 20 best movies of all time and truly great. 😊👍
With the passing of Ray Liotta, I was waiting to see someone react to this film. It's one of Stallone's best performances and yet most people don't talk about it. When this first came out I was more aware for Sly as Rocky, Rambo, and many others, so this surprised me to see him being serious with a role like this. So glad you two enjoyed the movie, and if anyone has not watched this they seriously need to check it out.
We’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of Liotta’s films we’ve been able to watch on the channel, and this was no exception. So glad our Stallone Series brought us to this one
@@samantha_schmitt have you both seen No Escape yet? If not that is another great film with Ray Liotta.
@@1ofLouisBoys we have not!
@@samantha_schmitt It's great. about a futuristic island prison. it also stars Lance Hendrickson, Kevin Dillon, Ernie Hudson, Stuart Wilson, and Michael Lerner.
@@samantha_schmitt What about Something Wild (w incredibly young Melanie Griffith and Jeff Daniels)?
Two other often overlooked good Stallone non-action hero movies to recommend are: 1) Victory from 1981 co-starring Michael Cain and Max von Sydow, and 2) Nighthawks also from 1981 co-starring Rutger Hauer and Billy Dee Williams.
When people say that Stallone cant act, i usually refer them to the first Rambo and Cop land. I wish he had done more like this, because he is really talented. As everybody says, such an underrated movie. Great cast, great acting, great storyline.
The Razzies destroy him
great reaction to a great movie! Another great Stallone movie, extremely underrated, is Get Carter. It's another different role he plays.
Thank you so much! And thanks for the recommendation!
@@samantha_schmitt If you are going to watch Get Carter make sure it is the original 1971 British version with Michael Caine. It is miles better than Stallone’s Hollywood remake. I would also recommend the original 1969 version of The Italian Job with Michael Caine, again it is miles better than the Hollywood remake. Edited to the correct the years.
I think that this was overlooked at the time, because it had Stallone in a serious leading role and that overshadowed who else was in the cast - having only known Stallone for Rocky and action movies, people may have thought that it wouldn't be that great, but it's actually a really good movie and Stallone plays Freddy very well. The deaf shoot-out at the end is astonishing.
So many Sopranos actors in this flick...
Bad Lieutenant is a 1992 American neo-noir crime film stars Harvey Keitel.
NYC cops used to be able to live outside the city.
Northern New Jersey and upstate New York had coplands.
That changed and now NYPD have to live in the city limits
I don't see many people even mentioning this movie but i remember that it was a big deal for Stallone when it came out. Very tense, story driven piece. The cast alone is amazing, Liotta (recently passed away, RIP), DeNiro, Harvey Keitel, Stallone is amazing here. Woman that plays young cop is Janeane Garofalo and i mostly remember her from Dogma (Kevin Smith's masterpiece i would recommend to watch if you already haven't).
Sly's character was kind of like a sleeping giant...once awakened, he totally took care of business. Very satisfying ending! RIP Ray Liotta, and great script, pacing, and acting.
Depressing
Underrated classic..a slap in the face of the haters who think Stallone cannot act
It's perhaps one of the rarest movies where you see Stallone as an average out of shape dude instead of a super human
He gained 40 pounds just for this role
To me this is one of the most underrated movies and I was excited when I read you decided to react to it. Whether Stallone should have won an Oscar for "Freddy" can be debated, but to not even receive a nomination is just plain wrong. Your reaction did not disappoint and you should definitely not worry about being off: Copeland is such an amazingly well written script with many angles/characters making it almost impossible for first time viewers to figure it out before the final show-down.
My favorite Mangold movie, especially the soundtrack by Howard Shore. There is also a Director's Cut which fleshes out some things.
thanks for watching this. 👍🏼✅
In your post-viewing commentary, your sharp curiosity, intellectual honesty and overall modesty are shining through. It's refreshing that you keep 'finding fault' with your own attention span even going so far as to claim you were off your game when such a tightly written narrative with not a single line of dialogue wasted demands 2-3 viewings to fully appreciate.
Only with your particular attitude of not 'outsourcing blame' (for lack of a better turn of phrase) can someone truly grow and evolve over time since you guys are prepared to fine-tune your approach/perspective to get the most out of anything, be it a movie with substance or any of the challenges you happen to come across at work.
Your suggestion of stretching out Copland into a 10 episode miniseries is certainly exhilarating and would make sense. Then again, since it panned out so well the first time around and remakes tend to water down the source material (unless passionate and capable writers are involved, of course) remaking a property with a riveting premise and lacking execution seems to be the common consensus. So let the iconic beauty of this movie reverberate into the future undisturbed.
This is my favorite Stallone movie for sure! Please do 16 Blocks!
One of the most underrated films ever, and my favorite Stallone performance. Another great 90s cop movie is State of Grace with Sean Penn, Ed Harris, and Gary Oldman.
Great film! Saw it opening weekend and loved it since.
I've been excited for this one since you started your Stallone reactions. It's a personal favorite and I think aside from everything else Sly does something so different and special with the character, Freddy.
Aww yay!! Hope you enjoyed the reaction!
Saw this in theaters to an almost non existent audience. Great film!
I humbly propose David Fincher's "The Game" with Michael Douglas for suspense polls and The Count of Monte Cristo for good overall movie!
"The Count of Monte Cristo" ❤️
They would looooooooove Count of Monte Cristo it's fantastic one of my all time favorites
Stallone has proven with Cop Land that he is a true actor who has mastered his art.
There are quite a few of these "sleeper" movies that slip under the radar despite being Oscar-worthy all around. Great reactions!
Yes! So happy we’re getting to watch so many more films now! Thanks so much
Another sleeper movie is 1996 Sleepers which stars a nice ensemble of actors.
Included in the star cast are Tony Sirico and Frank Vincent from Goodfellas and The Sopranos.
Ever since you first announced you'd be doing it it's been a slow and painful week waiting for this reaction vid, lol. Great watching it slowly unfold for you and then your kinda-shock about how weird it is you haven't heard about this gem before. I've been watching reaction vids for a bit over the past coupla years now and I've recommended this movie as well as others cough-Sleepers-cough but nah. TWO PLUS years and finally here we are, lol. If I had the funds I know I could Patreon the flicks and that would make sure they were watched but I'm not that fortunate. Between you two doing Cop Land and Shan doing Searching for Bobby Fisher today, it was a good day, lol. THANKS again!
YES! Ray Liotta's dialogue with Sly in this movie about perpetual motion could well be applied to many things such as how we get public servants in power to actually serve us if you think about it
wonderful different role for stallone - I would love to see him more often in these kind of roles. great cast, great movie! Hope you watched the DIRECTORS CUT!
Everyone jumps when Stallone takes one in the shoulder from John Spencer.
You guys aren't alone in feeling "off your game" for pretty much the entire run time. That was basically everyone I've ever talked to whose seen this, myself included. But I think that's partly the hallmark of a great story. Fantastic performances from Stallone, Deniro, and Ray Liotta, and another great reaction from you two. I know you're kind of on a Stallone kick right now, but I suggest NO ESCAPE with Ray Liotta. Super slept-on sci-fi/action thriller from 1994. And pretty timely as it's set in 2022.
Yesssss finally Copland! Definitely a underrated gem film! Sylvester Stallone gave a terrific understated performace in this film. He gained 40 pounds for this role and was deeply committed to play against his action character persona!
Samantha: "Man, we..."
TBR Schmitt: "...suck."
😂👍
This makes me want to watch Narc again. Ray Liotta gives an amazing performance as always.
I remember catching this at the theater back in the day. I was blown away by the cast and how much I enjoyed the movie. At the time, when the movie was going to come out, I recall a lot of the chatter on tv was how Sylvester Stallone had gained weight for the role. As you can see after watching the movie, Cop Land is so much more than that. What a good movie. So happy you guys got to experience it for the first time and share it here on your awesome channel!
I really enjoyed watching "COPLAND" here a lot. The cast is Impressive as it is but given the storyline for me makes this one of my favorites . I appreciate TRB& Samantha for sharing their reactions and comments for this movie very much.... you both bring so much to your channel.... it makes it easy to look forward to the next reactions. Thank you for this .
Thank you so much! ❤️
Stallone in serious roles, Copland, Rocky, is superb. I think he hasn't done enough to show that range. Copland is basically a modern western. Stallone is also in a new series on Paramount as an old gangster, it's called Tulsa King.
My comment may get lost in the shuffle, but if recommend the stacked cast of Backdraft, another 90s staple. Hopefully you haven't seen it, but it's an awesome movie, with DeNiro in a supporting role as well.
Then, of course Stallone and DeNiro play fun with their boxing personas in Grudge Match (2013). DeNiro had to really convince Stallone to do that role as Stallone didn't want to make fun with the Rocky character. Fun movie to watch.
What I've found in my old age is that most people think that if you're as good a person as Freddy then that means you're dumb. Like grown adults can't decide to lead a blameless life. It must be that they didn't grow up/learn. So they look down on you until your decency comes up against their corruption, then you're a threat and they fear/hate you.
Anyways, Robert Patrick and Peter Berg are in this great Sci-Fi movie called FIRE IN THE SKY. You guys should check it out. For Stallone, I like to recommend NIGHTHAWKS which no one ever watches. He's a cop in that too. The cool kids of a certain age all love that one. For Liotta, I've been recommending DOMINICK & EUGENE but no one will ever watch that.
Fire in the Sky is a classic!
This is the most underrated movie of SLY, he gained a lot of weight just for this role
Its such a who's who movie after you watch Sopranos to see a vast majority of the cast from that show were in this film.
After mentioning it in a more recent video - I'm so glad to find out you have done it and loved it! Real gem of a movie that should be WAY more popular than it is!
I think I recommend this movie a few weeks ago. Great movie and reminds me a little of LA Confidential. A lot going on but everything ties in so well together. Showed this to my wife a few months ago and she loved it too. Great reaction once again.
PS: my favorite Stallone movie is Assassins. Stallone vs Banderas, so epic. You 2 should definitely check it out.
Nice to see this movie getting the appreciation it deserves, great reaction.
Harvey Keitel, Robert DeNiro, and Martin Scorcese grew up together in Little Italy. Scorcese's first film, MEAN STREETS, was supposed to be a vehicle for Keitel, but DeNiro stole the show, which launched his career.
Keitel is not Italian
@@lexkanyima2195 What's your point? Did you think everyone in Little Italy is Italian? New Yawk is all mixed up.
@@markmurphy558 his parents is not Italian so, it does matter
