Gerard Butler is having a bit of a renaissance in his career after making some poor career choices several years ago and Frank Grillo is at the peak of his acting career after being in some very successful TV shows but without doubt the star of Cop Shop is a someone who I don't think I've seen before and that's Alexis Louder .
On the run from a lethal assassin, a wily con artist devises a scheme to hide out inside a small-town police station-but when the hitman turns up at the precinct, an unsuspecting rookie cop finds herself caught in the crosshairs.
The best way to describe this is it's a Tarantino lite action thriller . While it's not as good as anything Tarantino has made , because of the characters, the dialogue and the music , it definitely has that feel.
The film is nearly entirely set in police station ( hence the title ) and that give it a claustrophobic feel , in a good way .
The first half it's mainly setting the story up and the second half is all out action .
Nobody can be trusted apart from Valerie and it's almost impossible to avoid the flying bullets.
Sure it's far fetched and and a little monotonous at times but I enjoyed it for the most part .
I'm sure there will be plenty of people who are sniffy about the film but there is no denying it's unearthed a new star in Alexis Louder .
I think we might be seeing a lot of her in the future .
