Cop-Out

About Cop-Out

Cop Out is pretty funny...for the first 20 minutes. After that, it totally change into a generic buddy movie that could have had any two actors in the lead and gotten the same results.Cop Out fizzles out once the action scenes kick in. In fact, it might have been a better film had the two leads, Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan, had even the tiniest bit of chemistry. They don't, and the film suffers for it.First-time live-action feature film screenwriters Robb and Mark Cullen lose their way just barely into the film, abandoning the initial storyline altogether when it just starts cooking. They go off on a whole other tangent that involves throwing virtually every buddy cop action movie cliché into the mix. The Cullens adopt a scattershot approach to storytelling that leaps around continuously, never settling down long enough to actually develop the two leads into anything but one-dimensional characters. Sure, I realize it's just a comedy. But when the one-liners don't work and the action scenes are cheesy, it would have been nice to have had a couple of interesting characters to root for since they're on the screen and in our faces the entire running time.The StoryBruce Willis and Tracy Morgan play NY police officers who've been partners for nine years. Jimmy (Willis) is the more sedate, level-headed one while Paul (Morgan) is more emotional, sentimental, and easily riled up. These are the comic book versions of cops, which is fine since Cop Out isn't trying to be Training Day. Suspended following the latest in an apparently lengthy list of bad decisions, Jimmy and Paul are forced into action in an unofficial capacity after Jimmy's prized baseball card is stolen while he's trying to sell it to pay for his only child's wedding.If he can recover the card, he can save his pride. If not, then his ex-wife's wealthy hubby (played by Jason Lee) will foot the bill for the $50,000 wedding. Jimmy doesn't want that to happen and is willing to go to pretty much any length, including making a deal with one of the major players in the local drug trade, in order to get his rare card back still in pristine condition. Jimmy and Paul have to find a stolen Mercedes and in exchange baseball collector/drug dealer Poh Boy (Guillermo Diaz) will return the card.
Well i know that this kind of criminal case wight be weird and would probably never exist, but if we could take advantage by seeing what's the reason behind this movie. Who knows that one day people might want to get an illegal stuffs by trading an innocent people, by following this a lot of nonsense way of trade.
