movie review - Copland

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 1999.01.14

Surprisingly good. Stallone acts! Our hero is the sheriff of a small town built by cops. The town was built when the cops decided (as explained in the intro) that they needed a place to raise their kids while they patrolled NYC. So, with some *mob funding*, they get to it. Then the IA people start having a look, and before you know it, everyone's dead or in prison.

Recommended.

The point isn't revenge. It is justice. Revenge is like a wave that washes up on shore - it always washes back out again. Justice is like the shore - it's still there after the wave comes and goes.

—commenter "JP" on a Rolling Stone article about the crooks running Wall Street
