      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Cop Car boasts a terrific premise and a grimly gripping opening act -- and for some viewers, that will be enough to compensate for the movie's uneven denouement.

      Adam F While this movie starts slow, it goes into overdrive in a hurry, and does not slow down after that. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/24/23 Full Review Karl P Perhaps it was due to a bad edit for tv, but it didn't seem to have an ending. Up until then, I was with it. Kevin Bacon and Hsea Wigham were both very good as bad guys. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/07/23 Full Review Oakley Athanasius M Taut, well photographed, and original. Sorry it isn't full of senseless gore or CGI. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/24/23 Full Review Rosana B Muito bom, Adorável, Eu já havia assistido a esse filme há um tempo atrás, não me recordo qual o motivo da ausência da nota, reassistindo, e degustando de um ótimo policial com uma dose de humor negro, e a participação adoravelmente fofa dos dois meninos, uma trama improvável, com um desenrolar, senão de todos surpreendente, mas no mínimo cativante e convincente, Kevin ótimo como sempre, agrega, entretém e diverte... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Augusto F. P Um enredo de simples encaminhamento e um desenvolvimento agressivo e de tensão crescente. Uma boa surpresa. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review catherinerg1 Was great movie only thing that pissed me off was ending cus the 2 kids were driving to get help for his friend who got shot in back seat and ending doesn't suggest wether the young boy that got shot wether he survived or not Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/18/22 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Ibad Shah indieWire [Cop Car] doesn't offer much in the way of substantial character development, but that's not a deterrent when the fun twists keep coming. Rated: B+ Sep 13, 2017 Full Review Kate Taylor Globe and Mail Watts walks us innocents out into the landscape where Hollywood has made its greatest myths and then removes the blindfold. Rated: 4/4 Aug 28, 2015 Full Review Bruce DeMara Toronto Star Anchored by solid performances and a taut script, Cop Car is a tension-filled thrill ride. Rated: 3/4 Aug 27, 2015 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies The story’s intensity boils to what seems like a satisfying crescendo only to hit us with a new set of stakes and then leave us on an emotional edge. Rated: 4/5 Aug 19, 2022 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Watts demonstrates his confidence as a filmmaker with a straightforward style, immediate characters, and an undeniably crafty manipulation of tension in subtle, funny, and at times frightening ways. Rated: 3/4 May 29, 2022 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Begins as a joyride becomes anything but joyful, and while the story is bleak, it is a bleakly beautiful coming of age story that packs a punch. Rated: 3/5 Feb 3, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
