Cop Land

(Miramax)

Sylvester Stallone is the sheriff of a tiny New Jersey suburb where numerous members of the NYPD (including Harvey Keitel and Ray Liotta) reside. When a cop takes an apparent suicide leap off a bridge, Internal Affairs investigator Robert De Niro (greasily note-perfect) turns up, trying to sniff out corruption. Stallone gives an arresting, if not brilliant performance, but it's Liotta, as a burnt-out, embittered former hotshot crony of Keitel, who really shines.
