Cop Car is directed by Jon Watts and starring Kevin Bacon tells the story of two young kids who steal a cop car for joyride. And of course, it's a bad idea after the kids find out that this car is belonging to a sheriff played by Kevin Bacon, they know they are in some serious problem.
To be honest, back to 2015 when this movie got released, I don't know anything about this movie. Until name Jon Watts reported that he is gonna be attach to direct Spider-Man reboot in MCU, I'm look after his name on Wikipedia and find out that he is maked film called Cop Car. After watching it, I'm so stunned.
First of all, this movie really well crafted. Capturing the widescreen of countryside, cinematography in this film a little bit reminds me of No Country For Old Men at some point, but in a different way and sorely beautiful shot. Quirkiness of two young boys characters, somehow it makes me adore and care with them. The dialogue that came out of their mouths is good. It feels like we are going back to childhood again and do some adventure with our imagination. Their back stories hinted very nice, and it makes us wonder what happen next. Two actors that portrays the kids are doing good job.
And Kevin Bacon as sherriff is so damn great. Very underrated actor, when exactly last time we see Kevin Bacon doing great performance? He plays some bad cop that I don't wanna get into spoilers why, but his character is interesting in a lot of way. And he is not just about some bad guy who have powers, he is human too. Has some weak points, he asking fo a help too. And it makes the story look more realistic.
One issue that I've got with this film is just the woman character when she's driving in an oncoming lane and meet without stop with the boys. I think her characters is forced and annoying. Beyond it all, everything in this movie are solid, even with ending which I think it's okay.
