	Media	Author	Review
		Neil Young The Hollywood Reporter	"Genre spoof directed with considerable wit (...) From first to last Hannes affectionately pokes fun at the cop genre’s myriad well-worn tropes and clichés"
		Martin Kudlac Screen Anarchy	"A buddy cop parody, twisting action-comedy tropes and the genre's heteronormativity (...) Cassata and Halldórsson demonstrate persuasive craftmanship refreshing the genre's well-worn clichés"
		Cath Clarke The Guardian	"It’s reasonably funny but, like a lot of genre spoofs, it begins to look increasingly like a low-rent version of the original movies it’s parodying (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Marta Bałaga Cineuropa	"You have the right to enjoy Hannes Þór Halldórsson’s Icelandic buddy cop action-comedy. And to remain silent, obviously"
		Jay Weissberg Variety	"Slick and fast-paced but unoriginal, 'Cop Secret' makes easy fun of genre conventions without adding anything new apart from the location."
		Neil Young Screendaily	"From first to last Hannes affectionately pokes fun at the cop genre’s myriad well-worn tropes and clichés, complete with knowing and sharp dialogue"
