GOOD COP/BAD COP?

What happened to all the big screen cops? Where did they go? Whens the last time you seen a really good cop movie? Can't remember...no shit, neither can I?!? "But what about Street kings?"...don't waste your time,its pretty shitty..which is a real disappointment because it was directed by David Ayer who wrote 'Training Day' and 'Harsh Times', both great movies.Meanwhile in Street Kings Keanu Reeves is tryin' to act the hard lad which is pretty much impossible when he can't act for shit anyway! Forrest Whittaker phoning in his performance, Hugh Laurie spluttering out another generic american accent...well thats a bit harsh as hes probably doin' the best he can with the crappy dire-logue thats on display. Anyway heres a list of big screen cops that Keanu shoulda taken a few tips from--


GOOD COP or BAD COP?---Good Cop!
Daniel Auteuil plays Leo Vrinks in the superior french cop movie '36'. Vrinks and his crew use questionable methods to take down a gang of bank robbers who leave no witnesses. Often compared to Michael Mann's 'HEAT'..which is bullshit cause this movies characters are a lot more believeable.
QUOTE-"If I see you and your brother here again you'll wake up with his head inside your belly"


GOOD COP or BAD COP?---Bad Cop!
Denzel Washington plays Alonso a narcotics officer who is a crooked, burnt-out, streetwise cop and Ethan Hawke is a 'wet-behind-the-ears' clueless rookie. Alonso has his own ideas about how to 'PROTECT AND SERVE'
QUOTE---"You got today and today only to show me who and what you're made of. You don't like narcotics, get the fuck out of my car. Go get you a nice, pussy desk job, chasing bad checks or something, you hear me?


GOOD COP or BAD COP?---Shit cop!
Al pacino plays Vincent Hanna, an Armani suit wearin' mid-nineties cop who only catches the crooks cause he can shout louder and over act better than any one else in Michael Mann's 'Heat'. Vincent's personality is in direct contrast to De Niro's character's understated,cool persona.
QUOTE---"Don't waste my motherfucking time!" (at an annoying loud volume of course)




GOOD COP or BAD COP?---The badest,badass cop ever!

Vic Mackey is a force of nature and not to be fucked with! He shoots other cops in the face, steals $10mill
ion from mad-dog armeanians and basically takes no shit! But if your one of his boys, he'll have your back. Ok, so Vic is not a big screen cop, but he has to get amention cause The Shield is the best show on TV.

QUOTE---Captain Aceveda "You need to cool down and step back from this"
Det Vic Mackey "I don't step back...I step up"



GOOD COP or BAD COP?---Deviant Cop
Harvey Keitel plays the Bad Lieutenant,gambler,thief,junkie,killer,cop. If hes not crying while free basing hes blowing his muck over car doors---nice fella! A hard movie to watch but you cant spend your life watchin' The Wizard of OZ.
QUOTE---"What the fuck are you? A drug counsellor... or a drug dealer? If you don't deal your own product, what kind of businessman are you?"


GOOD COP or BAD COP?---Foul mouthed Cop!
Mark Wahlberg plays Captain Dignam a total ball buster who uses more bad language in 15 minutes than most people do in their entire life time.
QUOTE---"Hey asshole, he can't help you! I know what you are, okay? I know what you are and I know what you are not. I'm the best friend you have on the face of this earth, and I'm gonna help you understand something, you punk. You're no fuckin' cop! "



GOOD COP or BAD COP?---Unlucky Cop

Jason Patric is Det.Sgt.Nick Tellis and undercover NARC who gets suspended after a stray bullet hits a pregnant woman during a drug bust. A great undercover guy...but too smart for his own good.

QUOTE---"You two had better get a goddamn groove going, 'cause you're in a life and death struggle as of right fucking now! "




GOOD COP or BAD COP?---Dumb ass cop!

Stallone plays Freddy Heflin in Copland, an oafish loser cop whos the sheriff of Garrison, a town populated by cops most of them dirty. Freddy needs to grow a set of balls before he can do the right thing. Sheriff Freddy Heflin....say it quick enough and it sounds like Chief Wiggum!

QUOTE---"I look at this town, and I don't like what I see. " (boring quote. I know!)
