Finally.
We get another breath of fresh air in 2015, for the first time since Buzzard earlier this year. Cop Car was refreshing for so many reasons – ones I cannot go into without spoiling the movie, so I’ll keep this review short and sweet.
If you’re into low budget indie crime films and also looking for a modern day version of, say, either Home Alone or Stand By Me – but for adults, look no further.
On a somewhat related note, I am intrigued to see what Jon Watts does with the Spider-Man franchise now having seen this. I can't imagine it'll be anything like the dreadful Amazing Spider-Man series Sony has dealt us.
