| Synopsis:
Veteran detective Jimmy Monroe (Bruce Willis) needs to cash in on his perfect Pafko in order to pay for his daughter's upcoming wedding, but in the tradition of everything that can go wrong...it's pilfered before he has a chance to collect. Paul Hodges (Tracy Morgan) is Jimmy's "partner-against-crime," whose preoccupation with his wife's alleged infidelity makes it hard for him to keep his eye on the ball, or his mind on the crime. Already in trouble and with nothing left to lose, Jimmy and Paul will have to break all the rules--including enlisting the aid of stoner thief Dave (Seann William Scott), who's working Paul's last nerve as Paul and Jimmy try to work the case. But before they can recover the prized `52 Pafko, they must first rescue a Mexican beauty who holds the key to millions of dollars in off-shore bank accounts--and who has already witnessed one high-profile murder because of them. |

 Viva Brooklyn! March 15, 2010
Mohamed F. El-Hewie (Hackensack, NJ USA)
6 out of 10 found this review helpful
In one year, Brooklyn alone gave birth to the four hits: Cop Out, Brooklyn's Finest, Armored, and Surrogates, two of which starring Bruce Willis. In Cop Out, Willis regained his vigor and youthfulness, compared to his drained and wasted appearance in Surrogates. Tracy Morgan's role took away the boredom from Willis' familiar and predictable style of acting.
Morgan's untainted performance made his comedy refreshing. His charismatic nature and great sociability enriched the failing morale of the movie industry. Getting Morgan to uplift the seasoned Willis and embarking on the richness of Brooklyn's diverse culture was wiser than Travolta's pick of Robin Williams (in Old Dogs) or Paris (From Paris with Love)to regain an edge. You would hope that John McCain have learned how to pick his running mate before naming Palin.
Like Brooklyn's Finest, Cup Out deals with the [unfine] life of New York cops. The two partners, each has his marital problems, low pay, and inability to stay close to home. The divorced one must find a way to pay for his daughter's wedding. A Sport's memorabilia was his only hope out of his financial crisis. Selling his precious piece of memorabilia got him in an O.J.-like armored rubbery. The movie dwells on how police-victim would retrieve his stolen memorabilia by tracing the robber to the Mexican gangs.
The choice of the Mexican gangster was superb. The two police couple must make a deal with the Mexican Gang leader in order to retrieve their stolen property. In such arrangement, suspicion, murder, and betrayal are the rules of the game. Even though the two cops retrieved the stolen precious card, it was damaged beyond hope.
The greatest entertainment in the movie were the richness and innovation of Tracy Morgan in acting uninhibited with real life content; the Mexican boys' exquisite ability to play the snappy and sharp anger that characterized the street gang; and the Italian house lady who outmatched the two cops in protecting her Italian made furniture and carpet. All was displayed on the magnificent highways and landscape of the Big Apple and the never ending humor of walking into a police- ridden workplace.
great! July 22, 2010

Cop Out July 25, 2010

Listen, I'll say first off that if you don't like Tracy Morgan's humor, then you aren't going to like this movie at all. However, if you do like Tracy Morgan's humor (which I do) you will love this movie. I loved this movie for what it was, a silly cop action comedy. I don't understand how anyone could go into a movie with this cast and think that it was going to be anything Oscar worthy. If you like having a good time and don't want to have to think much, then this movie is absolutely worth it. If you're uptight and need movies to speak to you on a deeper level and love being a harsh critic, don't waste your time. A solid 5 stars.
good stuff July 27, 2010

i'm amazed by all the venomous negative reviews of this movie. it almost seems political. it's just a movie. a simple, fun, comedy, no less.
Bottom line, Cop Out is funny. i can't imagine what exactly people were expecting from the film that it doesn't deliver. i've watched it twice this week and laughed out loud both times. a friend watching it with me tonight ordered the blu-ray from her beloved amazon Prime even before the credits rolled. i'm quite sure when this comes on HBO in a few months, my 70-year-old parents will reluctantly grin and shake their heads and say it was "dumb," but only after they each watch the whole thing from start to finish and get plenty of chuckles out of it. i have not discussed this movie with anyone out in the real world who did not agree that it was hilarious.
non-spoiler: it's directed by kevin smith. even though he didn't write it, there are still a lot of (gasp!) dirty jokes and naughty words. in other shocking news, cigarettes are bad for you. prepare yourself for a kevin smith movie.
non-spoiler: tracy morgan and seann william scott are going to act (gasp!) really, really goofy. are you familiar with their work? at all? they aren't exactly brand new unknowns. and i certainly wouldn't describe them as actors with a lot of "range." prepare yourself for a tracy morgan and seann william scott movie.
non-spoiler: there's a perfectly adequate buddy/cop story in the background. with guns. and caricatured gangster types. and some bald actor named "bruce" whose character claims to have never seen the film "Die Hard."
clearly you have internet access. because here you are on amazon.com. so prepare yourself: watch a trailer or two before you decide to invest 107 of your hard-earned minutes into this movie, lest you somehow--like so many others, apparently-- feel so utterly betrayed by the silliness of kevin smith and tracy morgan and seann william scott and "bruce" that you cannot help but come back to this site in a rage and claim that Cop Out is the worst movie you've ever seen.
i'd also like to mention that the soundtrack is solid indeed, besides "black betty" which just seems to be way overused lately.
bout time they made a true hilarious movie and didnt just slap that on the cover April 18, 2010
