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 Film4 at 9pm. It's also available to rent on Amazon, Apple TV, Google Play, Rakuten TV and the Sky Store.
