Cop Out


A mildly entertaining mess of a movie with a thinly drawn plot and a general lack of fresh ideas for the genre. It has an occasionally funny line or gag, but for every successful one there is probably 4-5 failures to cringe at. The direction from Kevin Smith isn't much beyond letting the scenes drag out longer than they need too. The cast looks like it is having a lot of fun making the movie, but it doesn't rub off on the viewer much when everything is so uninspired. The major villain is also laughably cartoonish and not at all menacing. After it was over I felt like I kind of enjoyed myself despite all the flaws. Looking back on it after a day though, I have no idea how I thought this.
