Cop Car | 2015 | R | - 0.6.6

Two 10-year-old boys (James Freedson-Jackson and Hays Wellford) running away from home stumble upon an unattended sheriff's cruiser and decide to take it for a ride. They quickly realize that it was a mistake. Also with Kevin Bacon, Shea Whigham and Camryn Manheim. Directed by Jon Watts. [1:26]

SEX/NUDITY 0 - A man gets out of a car and removes his shirt (we see his tank T-shirt and bare shoulders).

VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - A woman is shot in the head and blood sprays into the air (we see her dead later with a bloody head wound). Two men shoot at each other and they both fall to the ground with bloody chest and abdominal wounds; one man smears blood and matter on a car window.
 A man gets out of his car, lays a tarp on the ground behind the trunk and rolls a body out of the trunk and onto the tarp before dragging it (stopping to kick it along the way) to a large opening in the ground where he pushes the body in (we hear a thud) and pouring lime on top of it.
 A boy points a handgun at a man and tries to shoot him but he cannot. A boy shoots a gun at a car window breaking it and opens the door; we see that another boy in the car has been wounded and he has blood on his abdomen. A man shoots toward a car where two boys are locked in the back seat and breaks a glass bottle on the road. A man points a gun to a boy's head and threatens him. Two boys open the trunk of a car and hold a gun at the man inside who is bound and blood-covered with cuts on his face; the man yells and pleads for his life and says something about a man killing his brother. Two boys run around a field while holding guns that they find in a police car; the boys try to fire the weapons and one looks down the barrel of one of the guns when it does not shoot; one aims at the other who is wearing a bulletproof vest and tries to shoot him (the gun does not fire).
 Two boys in a car speed along a two lane road while a pick up truck chases them and rams into them before the truck crashes into a cow in the road. A man with guns threatens two boys and describes how he will kill their pets and their families in gruesome detail (the boys are visibly shaken). A man with guns threatens to kill two boys if they don't tell him where another man is. A woman yells at two boys in a car and pounds on the trunk while threatening them.
 Two boys find a police car with no one around and throw pebbles at it, run up and touch it, then get inside and start it before driving away in it; the boys drive through fields and they turn on the lights and sirens and speed around. Two boys speed along a two way road, swerving back and forth and nearly hitting an oncoming car. Two boys drive a police cruiser through a gate and break it open before speeding along a two lane road. Two boys poke two long sticks into a snake hole and leave the sticks there saying, "So they don't try to get out."
 A man drives with two boys locked in the back seat of the car. A man struggles to unlock a car door, then hotwires the engine and drives away in the car while two dogs bark at him from a neighboring yard. A man in a car is pulled over by police and is reprimanded for expired tags (the officer leaves without incident).
 A boy puts the paddles of a cardiac machine to his chest, but it does not discharge. A man throws a potted plant on the floor and the vase breaks.
 A man yells at two dogs. A man finds his car missing and runs through a field in a panic. Two boys walk across fields and climb through a barbed wire fence (they are running away from their homes).
 A man spits and we see the spittle. A boy burps into a police car radio. We hear a toilet flushing several times and see a man flushing many bags of a white powder down the toilet (please see the Substance Use category for more details).

SUBSTANCE USE - A man flushes many bags of what looks like cocaine into a toilet and we see him snorting some in the process. A police officer gets out of his cruiser and drinks from a bottle of beer, and a man on a street drinks from a bottle wrapped in a brown paper bag. A man smokes a cigarette, and a man smokes a cigarette in a house.

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
