Cops

About This Movie

So, Buster Keaton's 'Cops' is a wild ride from 1922. It’s this relentless chase through the city that captures Keaton’s knack for physical comedy. The pacing is frenetic, and you really get a sense of how he plays with the absurdity of the situation. The misunderstandings, all centered around a horse and cart, create this chaotic atmosphere that’s hard not to love. The way he interacts with the police, inadvertently ruffling feathers at every turn, is just classic Keaton. Practical effects are on full display, with stunts that feel both daring and meticulously timed. It’s not just about the laughs; there's an underlying commentary on how one small act can spiral out of control, which is pretty intriguing. Really a gem for anyone who appreciates silent film comedy.
