Con artist and fixer Teddy Murretto is on the run in a bullet-riddled unmarked police car, which breaks down near Gun Creek, Nevada.
As rookie police officer Valerie Young breaks up a brawl outside a casino, Murretto sucker-punches her to intentionally be taken to jail, away from his pursuers.
Corrupt officer Huber has been coerced to steal drugs from the evidence locker, while Viddick has planted a small incendiary device disguised as an insulin pump, which sets off the fire alarm.
In the confusion, Viddick beats a drunken man sharing his cell and incapacitates police sergeant Mitchell, taking his gun.
Murretto explains his situation to Young: on behalf of his criminal employers, he tried to buy off the state's attorney general, William Fenton, who refused to cooperate and was killed.
Young learns that Murretto's ex-wife and son have been killed from Las Vegas police detective Deena Schier, who secretly clears up the scene of the FBI shootout with her fellow corrupt officers.
While Murretto and Viddick trade threats, rival hitman Anthony Lamb arrives, posing as a balloon delivery driver.
Rewriting the passcode for the bulletproof door to the holding cells, Young seals herself inside with Murretto and Viddick, but is hit in the abdomen by one of her own ricochets.
In September 2020, it was announced that Gerard Butler and Frank Grillo would star in the action thriller film called Copshop, which would be directed by Joe Carnahan.
In response, McLeod sued Zero Gravity Management in March 2022, alleging breach of contract and fiduciary duty, accusing them of not disclosing the substantial budget increase and failing to renegotiate his compensation.
Additionally, the court found that the Williams brothers were not personally involved in the deal between McLeod and Zero Gravity as producers of the movie.
[3][4] In the United States and Canada, Copshop was released alongside Cry Macho, and was projected to gross around $5 million from 3,005 theaters in opening weekend.
The website's critics consensus reads: "It doesn't add many new ingredients to the genre, but action fans in the mood for an old-school thriller will be happy to buy what Copshop is selling.
