Sylvester Stallone can't act. Sylvester Stallone can't act. I've had that phrase drilled into my head in every Stallone movie I've ever watched for the notable exception of "Rocky". Finally, I'm pleased to announce that after watching "Cop Land" Stallone CAN act, and act wonderfully. Furthermore, "Cop Land" plays out well in almost every aspect, making for a very fine movie.
