	Author	Review
United States	Michael O'Sullivan The Washington Post	"'Cop Car' builds up a nice, suspenseful head of steam, mixing dark comedy and true creepiness in such a way that one mood never overwhelms the other."	POS
United States	Robert Abele Los Angeles Times	"There's no denying Watts' skill at a certain kind of desolate cat and mouse, but it's in the service of what is ultimately a somewhat heartless exercise"	NEU
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"An extremely well-lubricated entertainment machine"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"A decent premise is wasted in this unimaginative little suspense yarn"	NEG
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"Cop Car feels like a great short stretched into a mediocre feature"	NEU
