Review of Cop

Cop (1988)
5/10
Good News & Bad News.
26 September 2013
James Woods plays L.A homicide detective Lloyd Hopkins, an obsessive cop on the trail of a serial killer targeting women. Lloyd goes undercover and makes contact with a beautiful single woman(played by Lesley Ann Warren) who may have had contact with the killer, and therefore could be his next target. Lloyd falls for her, though she doesn't know his secret, and can't believe her life is really in danger.

James B. Harris directs this mostly routine and undistinguished drama which would be as generic as its title but for two things: James Wood's intense and compelling performance as a hard-driving cop and the memorable ending involving the final confrontation with the killer(I wont give it away, but wow!) Film still falls short, but those two things at least make it watchable.
