Deaf Major

|
|
NOTES |
Stallone as
Freddy Heflin always wanted to be a New York |
|
cop but had
to settle for being Sheriff in rural New Jersey, all |
|
this because
he is slightly deaf. He's also overweight and |
|
none too
bright it would appear. In his small community live a |
|
number of
N.Y. cops who are his idols. But when Internal |
|
Affairs
arrives on his doorstep he discovers his idols are |
|
flawed.
Internal Affairs wants his help which puts him in a |
|
dilemma;
will he cooperate and lose his friends and a chance |
|
to be one of
them, or will he do the right thing? |
|
His partial
deafness is the result of rescuing a girl drowning. |
|
And in a
nice twist the girl he saved is married to one of the |
|
A piece of
trivia is that Stallone put on a load of weight for this role just as
his fellow star, De Niro, did for "Raging Bull". |
|
There the
comparison ends. |
|
Copland is
quite a good film better than average but by no |
|
means great.
I'm afraid I can't agree with some that Stallone |
|
is up to the
part. He's better than normal but there's a |
|
potential in
this role which he doesn't realise. |
