While taking a stroll down a desolate country lane and into a wooded area, two adolescent friends stumble upon a deserted police cruiser, and after overcoming the initial fear and wonder, decide to take it for a joy ride, little knowing the cunning and sadistic nature of its operator nor the contents of the trunk. Cop Car is competently made,with Kevin Bacon as both an effective and menacing villain, but the script is painfully poor and cheesy, with a finale that is too clean and not nearly satisfying.
** out of ****
