Storyline:A pair of ten-year-olds find an abandoned cop car in a field. When they take it for a joyride, it seems like they could kill themselves at any moment. But things only get worse when the small town sheriff goes looking for his missing car. The kids find themselves in the center of a deadly game of cat and mouse they don’t understand and the only way out is to go as fast as their cop car can take them.Motion Picture Rating (MPAA)
Rated R for language, violence and brief drug useUser review:In my opinion ‘Cop Car’ can be described as a surreal adventure for two intrepid young souls. Two boys about 9 or 10 years old are taken with ‘running away from home’ and discover the world outside of their youthful knowledge & experience is more than they ever imagined.Director/writer: Jon Watts and writer: Christopher D. Ford have smartly kept the dialog minimal and the setting vast and expansive. In doing this the viewer must concentrate solely on and only on the main characters – Kretzer, Travis & Harrison. These three are the story! In the grand open landscape they are the only movement & action to be seen.The pacing of the movie takes the viewer on a roller coaster ride of tension and suspense. Just like a roller coaster the start is a slow climb up then the action starts. You do not know what is going to happen to the two intrepid boys (Travis & Harrison) while they are innocently on their own. Then Kretzer shows up and the tension builds and builds.This is a fine bit of cinema – simple, fast, suspenseful – and only 4 main characters to concentrate on. I recommend watching this movie because anyone who likes a real ‘seat gripper’ gets a great payoff.
