A hugely fun action thriller movie is airing on TV tonight

Holding an 83% score on Rotten Tomatoes, the film was a surprise hit with critics upon release.

The film tells the story of a wily con artist (Frank Grillo, Peacemaker) who, on the run from a lethal assassin (Gerard Butler, How to Train Your Dragon), devises a scheme to get arrested so he can hide out inside a small-town police station.

When the hitman turns up at the precinct, however, an unsuspecting rookie cop (a terrific Alexis Louder, The Terminal List) finds herself caught in the crosshairs.

Co-starring the great Toby Huss (Weapons) as a psychotic rival hitman also sent to kill the con artist, Copshop was a surprise critical darling upon release, thanks to its fun performances, stylish direction and funny script.

Holding an 83% Rotten Tomatoes score, the movie is airing on TV tonight on E4 at 10pm.
