After a clumsy operation trying to capture a drug dealer, the N.Y.P.D Detectives Jimmy Monroe and Paul Hodges are suspended for one month by their Captain Romans. Jimmy decides to sell his rare baseball card to pay for his daughter's expensive wedding while his jealous partner believes that his wife is cheating on him with their next-door neighbor. When Jimmy sells his card to a memorabilia store, the place is burgled by two small-time thieves and the detective loses his card. They track down the thieves. Jimmy's rare baseball card is robbed. Since it's his only hope to pay for his daughter's upcoming wedding, he recruits his cop partner Paul to track down the robber, a memorabilia-obsessed gangster. I went to the movies with my girlfriend, hoping to have a good time and laugh a bit. She wasn't very pleased that I wanted to see "Cop Out", because she thought that it was another one of those brutal action movies that men somehow consider funny.<br/><br/>Well she wasn't right and neither was I, because the movie fails at being an action flick as well as at being a comedy. There were some mildly amusing moments in the film, the kind that make you chuckle a bit, but I never laughed.<br/><br/>The reasons for this are multiple: first of all the plot is completely ridiculous. I don't expect any highly intellectual miracles with films of this genre, but the story shouldn't be flat out unbelievable, like in this case.<br/><br/>Then there is Tracy Morgan. I find him funny somehow, at least in "30 Rocks", but he shouldn't act in films, especially if he has to keep to a script. His overacted ramblings got annoying pretty fast, although some of the scenes worked a bit, most of them ended with a very awkward silence in the theater. Morgan was his usual eccentric, over the top character, but it was so overdone that only kids may enjoy his performance just because his body language looks so stupid.<br/><br/>Bruce Willis seemed completely annoyed, a bit like he just wanted to get over with the scenes to grab a strong Irish coffee and a cigarette, cash his check and go home to watch TV and hang around. To be fair his acting, if you may call it that, was way better than Morgan's.<br/><br/>I think the biggest flaw of the movie was that there wasn't a single moment at which you could imagine Morgan being a cop and Willis and Morgan being partners. There was absolutely no chemistry between them: every time Willis set up a joke by playing the cynical, though experienced cop, Morgan would ruin it by blabbering like a junkie on too much gear.<br/><br/>Don't waste your money on this. I was with a friend last weekend, and we were scrolling through the HBO On Demand movies, and I said how everyone was saying Cop Out sucked. He said that it actually wasn't that bad. (take into account, he is one who thinks Shawshank Redemption is only "OK").<br/><br/>Yesterday, I decided to finally watch this one, and I was surprised with how decent it actually was.<br/><br/>The film is split into 2 parts. The first being the funnier one, goes from beginning to around the scene where Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan's characters team up with the main villain, Pullboy. <br/><br/>The second half, being more action oriented, has comedy that just seems forced, and I guess is where everyone started to say it was (as the displayed review on the film's page is titled) "Therrible".<br/><br/>But this one is just for fun. Not as good as "Inception" but not as bad as "Clash of the Titans". <br/><br/>DISCLAIMER: TURNING YOUR BRAIN OFF MAY BE REQUIRED TO ENJOY THIS FILM.<br/><br/>3.5/5 Cop Out is still funnier than the dreadful later Eddie Murphy cop pictures. But it feels like an homage to a period best forgotten. Cop Out is a comedy film written by screenwriting brothers, Mark and Robb Cullen. The screenplay started out as a spec script by Mark and Robb Cullen, so Kevin Smith's writing talent was not needed. He did not do a re-write of the script, despite some reports stating so. In his stand-up TV special "Too Fat for 40" he stated that he was essentially taking a break from writing as he tried to figure out why some of his more recent movies (namely "Zack and Miri Make a Porno") weren't doing as well. He realized his life circumstances had changed from the days of "Clerks" and "Mallrats" and that to try to write a movie like that at this stage of his life wouldn't be honest. He liked the script for "A Couple of Dicks" (the original and working title of "Cop Out") and loved growing up watching buddy cop movies with his dad. <a href="/name/nm0005134/">Jason Lee</a>, who frequently works with Smith, appears in a brief (two scene) role as the step-father of Jimmy Monroe (<a href="/name/nm0000246/">Bruce Willis</a>)'s daughter. <a href="/name/nm0005405/">Seann William Scott</a>, <a href="/name/nm0605079/">Tracy Morgan</a>, and <a href="/name/nm0640756/">Ernest O'Donnell</a> appear in this film as well. a5c7b9f00b tamil movie dubbed in hindi free download Empty Apartmentdownload HighlanderSmokey malayalam full movie free downloadthe Journey to the Center of the Earth full movie download in hindimalayalam movie download OverwatchThe Delta Force full movie torrentthe Battle of the Superheroes! full movie in hindi free downloadSinister Mouse tamil pdf downloadCutthroat Island song free downloadA Matter of Time tamil dubbed movie free download
