Movie Review: Cop Out

Finally an action movie with laughter
We had an opportunity to watch this move absolutely FREE, thanks to the largess of the dollar theater employees. We were late for the show at the theater and the box office was closed, instead of retracing our steps we went in and asked if we could get any tickets for any movie. The lady out there said just walk-in and watch any movie we wished. Thanking her profusely we walked in and sat for Cop Out, starring Bruce Willis, Tracy Morgan, and others and directed by Kevin Smith.

The way I associate Bruce Willis movies are with violence, lots of blood, destruction of public property, and related stuff. Surprisingly this movie is quite different, there is very little blood, lots of humor and little destruction. The role Bruce Willis plays is quite similar to his other movies, he is a cop, divorced from his wife. His daughter is getting married and he wants to pay for the wedding. His only asset is a valuable baseball card that gets stolen and sold to a drug dealer.

Willis and his partner Morgan catch the thief but the card is with the dealer who cuts a deal. He wants to find a stolen car which has something in it... a live girl... The rest of the movie is some car chases, few shoot outs and ends in the baseball card getting shot through. So finally Willis can't pay for the wedding after all.

In my rating I would say worth watching once.
