There's nothing entirely good or clean or virtuous or nice-looking in Copland. Stallone plays a smalltown sheriff, his stomach bulging over his gun-belt. Cops abandon their partners in their hour of need. De Niro playsan Internal Affairs officer, policing the police from an untidy office where even the ceiling tiles are stained and drooping. Neighbours sleep with their best friends' wives. Everyone's too fat or too thin, everyone's ugly in their ill-fitting clothing and bad haircuts, every family has a secret. There's much that needs resolving before the film is through.
