Screaming through the Nevada desert in a bullet-ridden Crown Vic, wily con artist Teddy Murretto hatches a desperate plan to hide out from lethal hitman Bob Viddick: He sucker-punches rookie officer Valerie Young to get himself arrested and locked up in a small-town police station. But jail can't protect Murretto for long.
""Copshop" is one of those action movies that mixes adrenaline and tension with completely unexpected situations, which contribute to a dynamic that is even comical. The feature film is directed by Joe Carnahan ("Kill or Die") and stars Frank Grillo ("Captain America: The Winter Soldier") and Gerard Butler ("300"), who contribute to driving the story with animation and dynamism. Grillo plays a fugitive trying to escape from another criminal (Butler), and for this he commits a small crime and goes to jail in a quiet rural police station. Eventually, the place serves as the stage for a violent dispute between criminals in search of survival. The film carries a refreshing air to the action genre, with a well-established story that leads to an extremely climatic third act, for fans to vibrate and delight in a well-developed conflict resolution."
