Product Description
When a detective's rare baseball card is stolen from a collector's shop, he and his partner attempt to track down the card and break up the crime ring
Amazon.com
Fan-favorite filmmaker Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy) directs the first movie he didn't write himself: Cop Out, starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan (30 Rock) as mismatched cops. When a bust goes wrong, they get suspended, forcing Willis to sell a treasured baseball card in order to pay for his daughter's wedding. But while selling the card, it gets stolen, sending the pair on a wild chase featuring a parkour-loving housebreaker, a hot Latina trapped in the trunk of a Mercedes-Benz, a 10-year-old car thief, and a lot of other goofiness. It's hard to believe that Smith didn't have a hand in the writing, as the comedy has all of his loose, ramshackle habits (and his reliance on jokes about poop and male genitalia)--though much of it also has the feel of being improvised by Willis and Morgan. Cop Out wants to mock buddy-cop movies, but it also wants to be a buddy-cop movie; these conflicting impulses are never harmonized, so the whole movie feels out of tune. The star-studded supporting cast includes Jason Lee, Michelle Trachtenberg, Seann William Scott, Fred Armisen, Kevin Pollak, Adam Brody, Rashida Jones, and Susie Essman. --Bret Fetzer

 Trepid... August 30, 2010
EDURP (Morgantown, WV)
As most who view this movie I'm a fan of Kevin Smith (Clerks II is the best) and his style of humor, well he is only a director on this one. So I'm sure he made suggestions as to what would make the movie better it was ultimately ruined by Morgan. He has to be the most unfunniest person ever to grace a movie screen. Honestly Jet Li would've been a better fit for Morgan's role. Sean William Scott was funny in this movie and provided most of the laughs. Honestly when is he going to stop being Stiffler! If you have no other options then by all means it may provide a laugh or two but don't spend money buying it until it ends up in the bargin bin.
Mediocre film....solid BD August 28, 2010
S. Aston (Gold Coast, Aus)
Being a big Kevin Smith fan, I bought this sight unseen and was left decidedly nonplussed when it was all over. Kevin's love letter to the 80s action buddy cop flick has its moments, but overall falls rather flat and just feels disappointing for those of us who've admired his work over the years.
As far as the disc itself goes, there's very little to complain about. Both the video and audio presentations of the film are very good. The Maximum Movie Mode (or Maximum Comedy Mode) as it's known on the BD is excellent, and (for me anyway) provides more entertainment than the feature. It's one of the very few releases where I actually recommend an extra over the film itself!
Unless you're a big Smith fan (like myself), rent it instead.
 THE DEATH OF THE BUDDY/COP MOVIE? August 26, 2010
Mark Turner
Let me state up front that I am a fan of Kevin Smith movies. With the exception of one (ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO) I've found his films to be interesting, controversial, entertaining and enjoyable. Now we have two in a row that fall into the category of movies to avoid at all costs. And while I wasn't a fan of ZACK AND MIRI, I'd watch it again before watching COP OUT.
COP OUT is basically the formula buddy cop movie. Bruce Willis plays Jimmy Monroe, the stoic more serious member of the duo. Tracy Morgan plays Paul Hodges, the loud mouthed humorous one (or at least he's supposed to be) who talks non-stop whenever the camera hits him. The film opens with the duo interrogating a suspect who they then turn into a snitch.
Morgan and Willis go on stake out with Morgan in a cell phone suit standing on the sidewalk in front of a store the man works in while they wait for his contact, a drug dealer and supplier. Spotted, the dealer shoots the snitch and gets away but not before Morgan steals a kids bicycle to chase him down and Willis gets slightly hit by a car as the bad guy gets away. In turn for their heroic efforts (and due to the footage of Morgan stealing the bike appearing on youtube), the pair are put on suspension for 30 days.
This is a problem for Willis whose daughter is about to get married and whose marriage runs a tab of just over $48,000. Step dad Roy (Jason Lee) volunteers to pay but that's all due to a one upsmanship contest between dad and step dad. To pay for the wedding, Willis decides to part with a rare baseball card he's had for years worth $82,000. But while passing it to a dealer in his store, the place is held up and the card loss. Now the pair goes on a hunt for the thieves who took the card.
The drug dealers are still out and about as well. When the drug lord Poh Boy's Mercedes is stolen, he kills the man responsible for handling the car and offers a bounty for anyone who finds it. What are the odds that these two divergent paths will cross somewhere down the line. Sure they will.
Picking up the thief who stole the card, Willis and Morgan end up confronting Poh Boy, an avid collector who has the card now. He offers to give them the card if they locate his Mercedes. But there's something special in the Mercedes that the two police detectives come across.
The film tries far too hard for laughs and ends up delivering none. The funniest moments we see here are the ones we all were able to see in the trailer for this film and even those aren't all that funny. And while Sean William Scott got quite a bit of screen time in that trailer, his part here is minor.
The entire time I was watching this movie I found myself wanting to push the fast forward button to get to a part where something happens. I kept wondering is this supposed to be a comedy because I haven't laughed once. Then I thought is it a cop movie, but the plot was so thin that I didn't think it was that either. So it must have been a buddy cop film...except that there was absolutely no chemistry between Morgan and Willis. This is odd because Willis seems to find chemistry with almost any actor.
Director Smith is noted for his dialogue in his films. But since this is his first movie where he wasn't responsible for the script I guess I can't blame him for the lame dialogue here. Nor can I blame him for the slapdash story that never gets the viewer involved or interested. I found myself not even caring about a side story of Morgan thinking his wife was cheating on him and his paranoia about it.
In the film STARDUST MEMORIES, Woody Allen played a film director of comedies who makes a serious film that no one likes. Aliens descend to Earth and talk to him telling him he should stick to comedies. The same is true of Kevin Smith. He should stick to movies that he writes. Or at least find better material to work with because COP OUT is a movie I know I will never watch again. Given the choice between this and the Weather Channel, I'll be looking to see how the heat wave is this summer.
 Good Movie, Outstanding Special Features August 25, 2010
Michael Slifer
Cop out is a fun buddy cop movie. The action sequences are nothing special, but this is more of a character driven flick. The real stars of this blu-ray are the special features. The Kevin Smith commentary etc. is entertaining, innovative and a must see.
tension breaker August 23, 2010
Zita Cunningham
It's a fun action packed teen/adult movie. When you need to laugh, this will do it.
