I don't know about you, but over here at Lodown, we just love Kevin Bacon when he's in full dirtbag mode. So obviously the celebrated midnighter “Cop Car“ got our full intention when it premiered at Sundance last January.

Directed by Jon Watts the film tells a rather dark tale of modern Americana as a small town sheriff sets out to find the two kids who have taken his car on a joy ride. Scheduled for a US release in early August the film is a brother in mind of modern classics suchs as “Shotgun Stories“, “Blue Ruin“ and “Mud“.
