Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Ends up about as exotic as a straight-to-cable potboiler.

40
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
The script recycles clichés that go back to 1937'S "Dead End," the performances are one-note, and the whole thing has the flat, bright look of a TV cop show.

40
LA Weekly
Nicole Campos
Excels at suspense and atmosphere, despite the garden-variety plot and an unintentionally hilarious - credit sequence .

40
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Main lure is what feels like a very authentic visual sense of the nontourist side of Kingston, where the ambience of zinc-walled shacks wallpapered with old newspapers is captured by cinematographer Richard Lannaman.

38
New York Post
Jonathan Foreman
The acting, camera work and writing are all crude and amateurish, even by the standards of student films.

30
Village Voice
Tina Benitez
Cop is an energetic portrayal of mean-street ghetto life.

30
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
A hackneyed police story, rife with clichés, implausibilities, and weak performances.

20
Film.com
Ernest Hardy
It's little more than a loose assemblage of Hollywood action movie formulas: "Dirty Harry" and assorted cop/buddy flicks are the clear models for the movie.

20
The New York Times
Dana Stevens
Shot in smeary video, it sports the static, by-the-book camera work of a daytime soap-opera.
