Officers Jimmy Monroe and Paul Hodges have their weapons drawn on a gun-wielding killer. They agree to shoot on three. But, wait, does that mean 1…2…shoot or 1…2…3…then shoot? Punches hit hard and laughs hit harder (or is it the other way ’round?) when action star Bruce Willis and ace comic Tracy Morgan pair as bickering-but-got-your-back Brooklyn buddy cops. Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy) directs the gritty, goofball goings-on as the guys hunt for a stolen 1952 mint-condition baseball card (Jimmy needs it to fund his daughter’s wedding), a hunt plunging them into a gunslinging war with a deadly drug ring. Batter up, fans. The boys are ready to take you out to the ol’ brawl game.

Bruce Willis has very funny moments.
Big fan of Bruce Willis so decided to go for it. Not dissatisfied at all. Great action, great comedy and great comic timing. Lots of fun to watch and very entertaining. Thanks Amazon for smooth delivery.

The language is horrible and unnecessary......
This is a silly movie, and sometimes I love watching a silly movie! But what totally ruins this movie is the nasty language. I'm not a prude, but enough is enough, and this movie has way more than enough nasty words in it. I was very disappointed in this movie.

Cop Out Review
COP OUTSTARRING: Bruce Willis, Tracy Morgan, Guillermo Diaz, Sean William Scott, Ana de la Reguera, Kevin Pollak, Adam Brody, Jason Lee, Rashida Jones, Cory Fernandez, Sean Cullen and Michelle TrachtenbergWRITTEN BY: Robb Cullen and Mark CullenDIRECTED BY: Kevin SmithRated: RGenre: Action / ComedyRelease Date: 26 February 2010Review Date: 23 September 2010I know Cop Out could have been better, but I enjoyed it. Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan is about as odd a match as you can find; but, man did they mesh terrifically! Morgan's off the wall and insanely spastic comedy, up against Willis's mug, tough-guy cop routine was a riot!Up until Cop Out, I had despised Tracy Morgan in everything I had ever seen him in. He just got on my nerves. I don't know if it's his new hit show 30 Rock (I haven't seen it yet) or what; but the guy has turned over a new leaf and had me rolling with laughter. I loved him in Death at a Funeral as well.Willis plays Jimmy Monroe and Morgan plays Paul Hodges. They're New York detectives who have been partners for 9 years, which Paul is more than grateful for, and seems to leave a sour taste in Jimmy's mouth.Jimmy's daughter is to be married and he can't afford to pay for her elaborate wedding and that just kills him; especially considering his ex-wife's new hubby (Jason Lee) has more than enough dough to cough up, and takes great pleasure in rubbing that in Jimmy's face.After they get into trouble with their Captain (which is almost a requirement in this genre) they're put on suspension without pay. Desperate for cash, Jimmy's pride gets the better of him, and he decides to sell a very valuable baseball card left to him by his father.However, when Jimmy and Paul head down to the card shop, they get the crap kicked out of them, and the card stolen at gunpoint. To make matters worse, they find themselves in the middle of a very nasty situation involving gun toting gangstas, kidnapping, drug smuggling, and a run in with none other than Sean William Scott.Cop Out being directed by Kevin Smith, you know you're in for a rude awakening; and if you don't, then I'm warning you now: lots of childish jokes involving fecal matter and sexual innuendos. But somehow when Bruce Willis is involved, they seem more acceptable and humorous, rather than vulgar and immature. The film wasn't written by Kevin Smith, and for that it suffers in creativity a great deal. It's Morgan and Willis who keep it fresh and entertaining.I loved the scenes of the two of them ripping on each other, and the ones where they team up against other cops in their precinct in verbal standoffs. My favorite would be where they pretended to call one another while sitting right next to each other, having a verbally abusive conversation about the two cops standing directly in front of them. And I have to mention the opening of the film. Tracy Morgan was hilarious, and as this was changed from the original screenplay, whoever's idea this was, deserves a gold star! Funny, funny stuff!Cop Out is a throwback to the classic buddy-cop flicks of the 80s like Lethal Weapon and 48 Hours. Is it in the same league as those? No; but it's in a new league of grotesquely funny, all on its own.

"This is police brutality!"
I didn't hate it. I didn't like it either. It was watchable, amiable, uneven, limp, and at times lifeless. Just look at the DVD cover and that pretty much tells you what's going on inside: Bruce looks embarrassed while Tracy looks just plain goofy. It was as if they were starring in two different movies edited together. One was a running monologue of stale jokes; the other wanted to be an actual cop film complete with a case to solve, the obligatory car chase, shootouts, and several executions thrown in for good measure! They literally went from a joke to a man being shot to death. It was more than a little jarring. Was this supposed to be a spoof, a goof, satire, parody, a bad 80's TV show revisited: what? It was none of that and so much less. I actually felt sorry for Bruce Willis.I won't even bring up Seann William Scott's part in all this; but to say he took "annoying" to a whole new level.I think we can safely say there won't be a sequel.Not a keeper.

a certified nut case thief and a bunch of mean bad guy's have in common
what do two honest cops, a wedding a baseball card, a certified nut case thief and a bunch of mean bad guy's have in common. nothing!! all a cop wants to do is find a way to pay for his daughters wedding, hint baseball card, but his ex wife wants her new husband to pay for the wedding, which does not set well with bruce willis good cop and his partner who is having marital problems of his own. bruce willis plays die hard in this movie, but he also shows a great flare for comedy. this movie is a combination of tough guy drama and insane comedy.
