nlytnd_1 Is this how adults think kids act/dialogue… do adults really think kids are this stupid behind closed doors? No wonder why kids are jackholes, because they're treated with such condescension and given such little respect. I can't stand kids, yet apparently, I inadvertently find myself being one of the most empathetic people when it comes to kids. The level of the two kid's stupidity in this movie (or the writer's stupidity) is the equivalent of dying from dehydration because they forgot they were thirsty type s__t! And I'm not talking about the kids taking the cop car either. I'm talking about virtually all their dialoguing and actions outside of this. However, they did go from the extreme of running up to the cop car, touching it, then running away (I swear I'm not making this up) to a minute later, putting the keys in the ignition and driving away? Who writes this stuff? At one point they take the riffles out of the cop car and they're trying to literally shoot one another with bullet proof vests on, but luckily for them they didn't figure out how to shut off the safety. So, imagine being a 9-year-old who found a person all bloody and bound in the trunk of a cop car, who's crying and pleading for his life before during and after you open the trunk. What would be the first thing you would say or do? These kids stick riffles in the guy's face and ask if he's a bad guy. Apparently, they would kill him if he said yes (now we find out later that the kids didn't think the guns worked, however there are contradictions, like at one point the one kid suggest shooting the ties off). I'm not saying two 9-year-olds wouldn't be cautious. He is in the trunk of a Sheriff car after all, but the guy's tied up and bleeding. I guarantee you that 100% of non- mentally challenged people 5 and up would first wonder and ask, what happened before anything else (also who are you, are you OK). Skepticism would possibly come after the confusion/wonder and the questions, not out of the gate. At this point it's not outside the lines of reason for the kids to free a bound man pleading … that's a realistic kind of kid stupid. It's the conditions they have, which make it such a gargantuan insult to kid's intelligence. If he doesn't tell their grandma, mom, step dad or any of their teachers, he can go. You've got to be F-ing kidding me? Do I even have to break down the many ways this is beyond the realm of stupidity for a 9-year-old? At first the kids don't have anything to cut the ties with, so the one kid says let's shoot them off and proceeds to point the gun at the ties which are directly in front of the man's face. Even if action movies were the extent of a 9-year old's knowledge on guns, a kid would have to know that the bullet would pass through the plastic into the mans face. You can literally go line by line in this movie picking it apart, for example, continuing from there. The boys must find something to cut the man loose. The one kid finds a pocket knife from the car and tells his friend as he's handing it to him, "the tweezers and the tooth pick are missing, but it has the knife part". Who gives a s__t about the tooth pick and the tweezers. Why mention this? Then just before they're about to cut him loose the one kid says, "you can't have this cop car, it's our cop car, we found it and we're not going to let you have it, okay". I f__king give up! These kids aren't considered mentally challenged either. The dude who wrote this dialogue is beyond ignorant… just because he was obviously this stupid when he was 9 years old, doesn't mean that you could find two kids on a continent let alone in the same area to be that stupid and it's extremely ignorant to think that there would be. So, they free the guy, he turns out to be bad and he throws them in the back of the cruiser. As the man goes off to go do something about 200 meters away the one kid whispers "look" and the other kid loudly goes "shhhhhhhhhh" and the other kid whispers back "he can't hear us". So, these kids are essentially just now figuring out how sound works for the first time. To make a long story short the inevitable happens and the one kids shoots himself. It really doesn't matter if the kid/s live or not in this instance, because we know within a year or so the odds are astronomically in favor of both kids being dead… it goes against the laws of nature that these kids made it to the age of 9 as it is.
Ashwin Ramaswamy Shades of No Country For Old Men, and that takes some direction, cinematography and screenplay. As one of the other reviewers on IMDb said, this movie is reassuring that the Spiderman reboot is in good hands. Definitely worth a watch if you like(d) movies from the Coen Brothers "edge of the seat slow thrillers" genre
Que no me toque un alto delante Plot: Two friends adrift in the countryside find and steal a police car, unaware that belongs to a sheriff of questionable ethics amid very shady business. The chase begins. The plot is a poor idea, with a good starting point, but with little expansion, little development. We can see a type-casted Bacon as the villain, which we've already seen. The child Freedson-Jackson does well. To my surprise, I found it to be a very poor film. With a kick-off that could have developed into a great picture, but stays as a flat thing without any surprises. With many bumps in the story, the story leaves us out and lacks elements to engage us in the plot and feel the tension of a genre film. The first moments of the boys in the car are very fresh and full of childlike innocence, but then nothing big happens. Perhaps the idea of ​​the argument would have worked for a short film. A better introduction is missing and a much much better finale. Entertainment level: moderate.
bobbyhollywood The title got me to wonder, just what type of movie did they make about a "Cop Car," so I watched it. The two kids work their way up to driving it, and again, I thought: "Wow, bet they have fun with the red lights and siren - hehehe." they did.As the movie progressed I found it to be interesting enough that it caught me and was taking me with it, that happens sometimes.At first I could not figure out why a cop car was sitting in a little hollow with a few trees around, and NO Cop or Sheriff, I wondered where they had gone, and why. We find out later.It seems to start when the two kids take a walk for something to do on what looks like a summer day, why do they do that, kids do things sometimes - just - to do them.The first car the kids and the cop car go by on the highway, is someone special, it surprised me, and got a good laugh.The Sheriff, as played by Mr. Bacon, is truly something else, if anyone on this planet ever had the word "looser" tattooed on their forehead, that Sheriff would be the one. All of those in this movie did what they were supposed to do, and perhaps more in some cases, it all contributed to an enjoyable, but not so nice movie for me.I would call it intense in some places.
