Cop Out
Stars: Bruce Willis, Tracy Morgan, Seann William Scott, Jason Lee, Michele Trachtenberg, Guillermo Díaz, Kevin Pollak, Adam Brody | Written by Robb & Mark Cullen | Directed by Kevin Smith
Cop Out marks Kevin Smith’s first outing as ‘director for hire’ and unlike his previous efforts he had no hand in the script for this film, which is a homage to the buddy cop movies of the 80’s such as Lethal Weapon, Red Heat, 48 Hours and Beverley Hills Cop 2.
Willis and Morgan star as NYPD detectives Monroe and Hodges, an unlikely pairing who have been partners on the force for nine years, but when they bingle a sting operation the duo are given 30 days suspension, which for Monroe (Willis) couldn’t have come at a worse time – to preserve his pride in the eye of his daughter (Trachtenberg), he’s promised to pay for her wedding instead of letting her...

Kevin Smith’s ‘Cop Out’ starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan is without doubt the worst film I’ve seen this year and considering I’ve seen Leap Year, The Back Up Plan, Extraordinary Measures and that I would choose to see either of them three hideous films over Cop Out then it’s clear there is something seriously wrong with it.
Cop Out is Kevin Smith’s first film directing someone else’s script and it painfully shows as it lacks any real humour, intelligence, plot and importantly on screen chemistry between Willis and Morgan which is something I was really looking forward to seeing. What appeared on screen was a mess with about 3-4 jokes (which is generous) that worked just enough to raise a chuckle with everything else either falling flat, being just plain stupid or unoriginally cliched, it lacks everything Kevin Smith is so well known for.

It is probably accurate to say that there aren’t too many actors who could convincingly play the utterly ruthless, borderline psychotic gang leader Po Boy in the just released Cop Out and be just as completely believable as the much more gentle gay nurse Angel on NBC’s Mercy. But actor Guillermo Diaz has just that ability which has allowed him to work steadily in both television and movies for the past fifteen years.
Probably best known for his role as Guillermo on Showtime’s hit series Weeds, the thirty-four-year old Diaz has also played a punk rocker, a drag queen, and a surfer just to name a few of his many roles. And it's that ability to slip in and out of so many varied characters that likely ensures the out and proud New York City native will be working for many years to come.
