COP OUT

Guy’s Review...

I’d like to start this review off with saying that I’m actually a big fan of Kevin Smith the writer and speaker. His directing might not be his strong suit but his movies have made me laugh over and over again. So the first mistake in making this movie was that he didn’t write it himself. It just didn’t feel or look like a Smith movie. It felt lazy and the cast felt like they didn’t have any fun doing this film. In his previous works you can actually feel that they are good friends and are having a good time together.

I remember watching one of the “Evening with Kevin Smith” lectures where he was talking about doing a movie with Bruce Willis. The thought of that when he told it was very exciting to me even if it would have turned out that Bruce would have played Silent Bob’s uncle. The first mistake they did was making him a cop again. We’ve seen this before but in a serious matter. Doing it in a comedic way is just a big mistake when he has characters like John McClain in his past.

The chemistry wasn’t there at all. Tracy Morgan might be one of the funniest stand-ups and interviews out there. His performance in this film however was not very funny at all. He had a small cameo in Smith’s “Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back” where he was hilarious. I’m just sad that it didn’t work out here as well.

Guy’s Rating: I’m sad to say that you should not watch this movie.

Girl’s OL: Don’t even bother, and I’m allowed to say that, Kevin Smith, even though I did not pay to watch your movie.
