"Sly's Most Underrated Film" Turns 29

Released August 15, 1997, CopLand marks Sylvester Stallone's return to 70s-era acting. While the film is a boxoffice success, the critical reaction is muted at best. Sly is solid, DeNiro makes the most of limited screen time, and the late Ray Liotta delivers a signature performance as coked-out cop Gary Figgis, whose moral center compels him to have the back of Sly's Sheriff Freddy Heflin, no matter the cost.
