"Cop Out" (formally "A Couple of Dicks")

Post by rob1ne »

Directed by Kevin Smith, not written by him (a first) the script was on this years black list, stars Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan.

Based on this trailer I'd rather they just gave The Last Boy Scout another theatrical release.

everybody in this thread so far. wrote:trailer doesn't seem funny
i agree but i don't know if it's my fanboyism of kevin smith or my love of tracy morgan (no homo) but i am going to wait until a redband trailer to make my decision.

I'm going to see it based on Morgan alone.

First Smith film I'll be paying to see in nine years.

Yea this looks like it will be fun. As a big fan of 80's and 90's buddy action flicks, this seems almost too good to be true.

This was originally going to star Robin Williams and James Gandolfini before it ended up at Warner Bros. Would have sucked balls.

Cant front, the Redband trailer seems a hell of a lot funnier than the other one, but I honestly still cannot see this being any good overall.

I feel like Tracy shines on 30Rock because of the format. I dont see him carrying a feature length movie. Guess we'll see though.

Not a fan of Kevin Smith's movies in general, but I'm interested to see how he does with a script he didn't write. That said, it looks like the dick jokes are dialed up to ten so he might as well have written this.

Will wait for reviews.

good shit. worth peeping ON BOOTLEGGO

I really thought Tracy Morgan was unworthy of being a co-star to THE GOD Bruce Willis... but I think he juuuust might pull it off here.

that Batman scene shit was jokes and so was drawing a dick on the window, LOLZ

this review (village voice) makes me really optimistic. sounds like they're making a stab in the same direction as Hot Fuzz and Pineapple Express. both of those got some things right and a few things wrong, so maybe this one will improve on the concept. Team America will likely still remain the alltime king of parodying the overblown action movie.

Cop Out establishes its movie lineage right away, with a slow-motion toe-to-head tilt up, set to the Beastie Boys' "No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn," of black-cop/white-cop buddies Jimmy and Paul swaggering stone-faced toward the camera. Director/editor Kevin Smith (who notably didn't write the Cop Out script; this is the Clerks auteur's first feature-length work for hire) immortalizes his heroes as stock crime-flick badasses in their very first frame.

So far, so middlingג€”until Smith complicates matters by following that shot with an opening sequence that sends Cop Out swerving into smarter territory: Determined to prove his bad-cop "acting" chops to a skeptical Jimmy (Bruce Willis), Paul (Tracy Morgan) interrogates a perp by subjecting him to an unrelenting marathon of movie character impersonations. Beginning with Al Pacino in Heat and moving, logically, through In the Heat of the Night and Training Day, Paul's "homage" (which he pronounces "homm-ige") eventually jumps off the rails. Jimmy, on the other side of the interrogation-room glass, can only gape at his partner's increasingly non sequitur charade: "Dirty Dancing? Star Wars? Everything on cable?!?"

And so Cop Out announces itself as both loving "homage" to "everything on cable"ג€”particularly '80s action comedies, referenced most directly by Harold Faltermeyer's cheap synth score and an honest-to-goodness plot song (called "Soul Brothers" and sung by Patti LaBelle)ג€”and a sly subversion of genre. It's a movie that shamelessly trafficks in the clich
