Task: Sentiment Analysis
Input (English): stallone attempts to ' act ' in this cop drama .
the film is set in a neighbourhood pratically built by kietal , who 's nephew ( played by michael rappaport ) is involved in a car crash and killing of two black youths .
keital dosen't really want to get involved in anything , gets rid of rappaport , and stallone and de niro try to work out what the hell is going on .
this film should be brilliant .
it sounds like a great plot , the actors are first grade , and the supporting cast is good aswell , and stallone is attempting to deliver a good performance .
however , it ca n't hold up .
although the acting is fantastic ( even stallone is n't bad )
the directing and story is dull and long winded some scenes go on for too long , with nothing really happening in them .
in fact , the only scenes that do work are action scenes , which i suspect stallone was trying to avoid .
in this film , serious means dull .
the dialogue is warbling , and basically just repeats the same points over and over , no matter who is delivering them .
the plot , which has potential , is wasted , again just being cliched after a while .
in fact , the only thing that does keep the film going is kietal and de niro , both delivering their usual good performances .
however , stallone , although not given much to say , gives a good performance .
however , it 's not all that bad .
as said above , the action scenes are well done .
there s also a very good ending , which uses the cinemas sound system well .
in fact , the last 10 minutes of this 2 hour film are one of the best endings of 1997 .
if only the rest of the film was as good as the ending .
cop land , then , turns out not to be a power house film , but a rather dull , and not every exciting film .
hugely disappointing , and i ca n't really recommend it .
Output (English): N
