Review of Cop Car

Cop Car (2015)
6/10
What happened to the ending?
1 May 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Travis and Harrison are young boys who find an abandoned cop car, and they decide on a joy ride. Sheriff Kretzer (Kevin Bacon) dumps two dead bodies and is desperate to get back the car. He lies to dispatch (Kyra Sedgwick) and does his utmost to hide that fact while searching for the car. Bev (Camryn Manheim) spots the kids driving the car. The boys discover a bloody man (Shea Whigham) tied up in the truck.

This is an intriguing indie. I do like the fact that the boys couldn't figure out how to fire a gun. It builds up to a nice thriller. Then the movie ends. It feels like the production ran out of money. The way it ends needs one final car chase. It could have left the ending without the final chase and leaving the dead bodies dead. Either way would be superior. Otherwise, director Jon Watts does a solid job.
