Based on the book Blood on the Moon by James Ellroy, 'Cop' directed by James B. Harris, is a thriller, that hardly offers any thrills. But what stands tall in this film, is it's lead star, James Woods!
Woods stars as obsessive, insubordinate homicide cop, who, becomes involved in a bizarre murder, which alienates him from both his colleagues and family.
'Cop' has an interesting premise, but the writing isn't sharp enough. Sure, it begins well and offers some interesting moments. But, after a point, the writing falters and fails to come up. James B. Harris's direction is just about okay.
On the whole, apart from a power-packed performance by Woods, this flick is mostly unconvincing.
