Cop Out (2010) 6/10

Starring : Bruce Willis, Tracy Morgan, Seann William Scott
Director : Kevin Smith
Running Time : 108 mins

Following a suspension for a bungled drug bust, New York cop Jimmy Monroe (Willis) is forced to try to sell his most prized possession – an extremely valuable baseball card – in order to pay for his daughter’s wedding, but when the card is stolen he is forced to enlist the help of his unorthodox partner, Paul Hodges (Morgan), to help him get it back in time.

It’s sad to see Kevin Smith directing what many would consider a sell out movie. The buddy cop movie is taken to a serious low as once-respected action star Bruce Willis is teamed up with one-trick-pony Tracy Morgan. It makes me wonder if the title is playing on the fact that all the respectable people involved in this movie have in fact copped out. Still, if you look passed the poor acting and the poor comic timing, this isn’t too bad a cop movie really.
