''Cop Land'' is a crime drama written and directed by James Mangold, starring [[Sylvester Stallone]], [[Harvey Keitel]], Ray Liotta, and [[Robert De Niro]]. The story follows Freddy Heflin (Stallone), a New Jersey sheriff who is charged with keeping order in a tight-knit community of [[New York City Cops|New York police officers]]. Such a neighborhood might be expected to handle its own business, and this is exactly how the residents see it. Thus, Heflin's authority is rarely taken seriously and he is often dismissed by the locals.
Matters around town are complicated when one of its members is involved in a questionable off-duty shooting and goes missing. It doesn't take long for [[Internal Affairs

* [[Title Drop]]: Moe Tilden (De Niro) refers to the community in Freddy Heflin's (Stallone) jurisdiction as "Cop Land." He ends up dropping the tagline in one of his narrations as well.
* [[Town
* [[Worst News Judgment Ever]]: The camera zooms out from the paper Heflin is reading to show the stories related to the incident completely fill two pages. He then closes the paper to reveal the front page is devoted to it as well. To be fair, the exposure of an entire town packed with corrupt cops {{spoiler|which is then involved in a massive gunfight}} would probably be pretty big local news.
