Review of Cop Out

Cop Out (2010)
7/10
I was surprised
6 March 2010
I'm not a Tracy Morgan fan, but I've always liked Willis. My friend talked me into seeing the movie, which after seeing the previews I didn't think it was worth the effort. I was very very wrong. Although not the kind of movie that I'd bust a gut over, I was very entertained. For those few who wrote seriously negative review, especially the reviewer who commented on the dialog of Tracy Morgans bathroom habits, the scene was about 20 seconds, not 3 minutes. Guys its a comedy. If you want factual police drama, you can watch Cops for free. Of course its unrealistic, but it is a very funny movie.

Tracy Morgan's character was over the top as I would have expected, but this time he really didn't annoy me. I began to warm up to the character. Bruce Willis was generally the straight man for a lot of Morgans antics, but the bottom line is that they worked well together. The theater was sparsely populated, maybe less than 30 people, but no one got up to leave, and I believe liked the movie as well. Yes there were some plot holes, but the story line, a little on the weak side was easily overlooked by the main characters acting off of each other and a great shoot-em-up at the end. The way the final bad guy bites the dust was very unexpected, original and funny.

I don't know if it will warm me up as a Tracy Morgan fan, but he did good on this one. Nice way to spend the time.
