QUOTES
»Bessere Polizeifilme können die Amis auch nicht machen.«
– WIENER ZEITUNG
»Regisseur Stefan A. Lukacs erzählt in COPS vom Trauma des Tötens, von Männlichkeits- und Machtfantasien und von den fragwürdigen Ritualen selbst ernannter Eliten. Was wie ein Polizeithriller in Hollywood-Blockbustermanier beginnt, mündet in eine packende Untersuchung von Autorität, Gruppendruck, Herrschaftsstrukturen in Männergesellschaften.« – KLEINE ZEITUNG
»Ein Drama, das all die Preise und Lobpreisungen mehr als verdient hat.« – KINOZEIT
»Wenn diese Männer ihre Uniform angezogen haben, verwandeln sie sich in Kampfmaschinen.« – SAARBRÜCKER ZEITUNG
