Copshop is a 2021 American action thriller film directed by Joe Carnahan. The film premiered on September 10, 2021, at the Toronto International Film Festival, and was later released in theaters on September 17, 2021.
The film stars Gerard Butler as Bob Viddick, a highly skilled contract killer who is on the hunt for Teddy Murretto, played by Frank Grillo, a con artist who has crossed him. Murretto hatches a plan to get arrested, but little does he know that Viddick has also planned to get himself arrested to fulfill his mission. The two are locked up in a small-town police station, with rookie officer Valerie Young, played by Alexis Louder, as their only line of defense.
As tensions begin to rise between Viddick and Murretto, a third assassin, Kana, played by Meadow Williams, arrives at the police station with the intention of taking out Viddick and completing her own contract. What follows is a tense and explosive showdown as the three assassins try to outsmart each other and escape with their lives.
The film also features supporting performances from Toby Huss, Ryan O'Nan, Kaiwi Lyman-Mersereau, and Tait Fletcher. The screenplay was written by Joe Carnahan and Kurt McLeod, based on a story by McLeod. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its action sequences and performances from the cast.
