Jon Watts' "Cop Car" is a tremendous experience; an achievement in authentic storytelling that will remind you of the best coming-of-age aspects of "Stand By Me," as well as the Coen Brothers style of storytelling. The film features characters who are beautifully developed and engage you in a disturbing situation that is brilliantly executed, never forced or over-written. It's a very well realized and naturally told story, which, in my opinion, makes many of the film's unanswered questions feel justified. The directing is fabulous and the climax is impeccably staged, shot, and relentlessly tense. "Cop Car" is a strong contender for "Most Badass Film Of 2015."
