Vertigo Drops New Clip Celebrating The Release Of COP SECRET

To celebrate this week’s release of Cop Secret, Vertigo Releasing has debuted an explosive clip from the film. Hannes Þór Halldórsson’s Golden Leopard nominated film is available now in the UK.

The film’s synopsis reads: Cop Secret recasts the buddy cop action genre in Iceland, where Bussi, a tough ‘Super Cop’, begins to lose his cool when he’s assigned a new partner – the suave, cultured and self-declaredly pan-sexual Hordur Bess – fighting an inner struggle while investigating a string of bank robberies where nothing seems to have been stolen.

Check out a brand new clip from the film in the player below:

The film throws every buddy cop movie cliche into a blender, mixing in a generous dose of hilarious gags and superbly choreographed action sequences, as well as a long overdue look at the homoerotic subtext of Hollywood macho movies. Chuck in a villain who sounds like Donald Trump quoting Reservoir Dogs, and you have all the ingredients for a riotous good time, Icelandic-style.

Nominated for the Golden Leopard at Locarno last year, Cop Secret also received the warmest of receptions at London’s BFI Flare. Fast-paced, infectious and very, very funny – it’s not going to remain a secret for very long.

In our ⭐⭐⭐⭐ review, Dave called Cop Secret a “witty, entertaining and overall enjoyable watch from director Hannes Þór Halldórsson.”
