Cop Out (2010)

Comedic buddy cop film starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan. There were no opening credits so we didn't know that this was directed by Kevin Smith. But that's okay, I would rather have not know that he directed it, it might have influenced me negatively.

So yeah, this is a buddy cop film so don't expect anything more. However, it does have Willis and Morgan in it so it is rather funny...at least for the first hour or so. After that it loses steam and becomes something unspectacular, but again, that's okay.

The story in a nutshell: The guys screw up a bust and are suspended without pay. Bruce Willis' character has to pay for his daughter's expensive wedding, so he decides to sell an expensive baseball card that he owns. Unfortunately, as he is getting the card appraised, it is stolen by some thieves. In trying to get the card back, the pair get involved with a ruthless Mexican drug dealer. Of course it all ends happily and it wasn't so bad a ride getting there.

Available: Netflix, Amazon
