Cop Car

Det är subtilt och sparsamt men samtidigt spännande.

...Cop Car is a surprisingly nasty piece of work, more reminiscent of old John Dahl thrillers from the ’90s (Red Rock West, The Last Seduction) than of Let’s Be Cops.

What’s most striking...is its sparseness. There are no extraneous characters nor situations, and we’re not given much information outside of that which drives the story.

A well-staged shoot-out climaxes the narrative...but the most thrilling scene in Cop Car is a prolonged moment in which Kretzer fastidiously attempts to pull an old jalopy's door lock up with a looped shoe lace.

...stages its climactic confrontations with a clean, methodical precision that keeps tension at a near-fever pitch, drenching its horrors in brilliant sunshine...
