Download Cop Out-----------------------------------------DOWNLOAD: http://urllio.com/r4api -----------------------------------------Men with guns face humiliation: Jimmy's daughter wants a fancy wedding which he can't afford on his NYPD salary, so her step-father smiles and offers to pay Jimmy's share. Paul, Jimmy's partner, thinks his wife is two-timing him with a neighbor, so he hides a video camera in their bedroom. Jimmy can get money for the wedding by selling a rare baseball card, which he loses when the dealer he's selling it to is robbed. The robbery is connected to the thugs running drugs, as the partners discover when they search for the card. Will Paul be a cuckold and Jimmy upstaged at his daughter's wedding?After a clumsy operation trying to capture a drug dealer, the N.Y.P.D Detectives Jimmy Monroe and Paul Hodges are suspended for one month by their Captain Romans. Jimmy decides to sell his rare baseball card to pay for his daughter's expensive wedding while his jealous partner believes that his wife is cheating on him with their next-door neighbor. When Jimmy sells his card to a memorabilia store, the place is burgled by two small-time thieves and the detective loses his card. They track down the thieves.In 2008, a Kevin Smith film became quite famous, even before its release, due to problems with the MPAA (aside from the actual rating, the posters and the title gave censors and advertisers more than one headache). That movie was Zack and Miri Make a Porno, and based on that evidence, similar fuss about his latest film being named Cop Out (slang for avoiding responsibilities) instead of the original A Couple of Dicks - a double entendre that at least tried to have some of the subtlety Zack and Miri threw out of the window - seemed to suggest another laugh-fest was in the making. Alas, the Cop Out that eventually made it to theaters is Smith's most disappointing picture to date (yep, even the generally derided Mallrats is better).
Drawing inspiration from '80s action films (hence Harold Feltermeyer's rather enjoyable score), the film tells the story of two NYPD cops, mismatched buddies Jimmy Monroe (Bruce Willis) and Paul Hodges (Tracy Morgan), who have managed to work together for nine years despite frequently driving each other crazy. The same can't be said for Jimmy's home life: he's divorced and about to face the humiliation of watching his daughter (Michelle Trachtenberg) get her wedding paid for by her stepfather (Jason Lee). The only option, it would seem, is to sell a rare baseball card. When said card gets stolen, Jimmy and Paul's investigation leads to them getting involved in something bigger, which has ties to one of their other cases. Oh, and the paranoid Paul is worried his wife (Rashida Jones) might be cheating on him.
On paper, this all sounds like a lot of fun. After all, Smith has virtually shaped his career on variations of the buddy movie formula, minus the action bits: Dante and Randal, Banky and Holden, Jay and Silent Bob, Zack and Miri. Why, then, doesn't Cop Out work on the same level? Part of the problem lies in the picture's tone, shifting between heartfelt tribute to the genre (the aforementioned soundtrack) and clumsy spoof. The biggest issue, however, is the fact that Smith didn't write the script himself. Instead, he took a screenplay by Robb and Mark Cullen and didn't bother polishing it, leaving the conventional plot and trite dialogue intact. Not surprisingly, the most amusing scene is the one where Paul "interrogates" a suspect by throwing out random movie quotes (although the Die Hard joke falls flat); everywhere else, the "original" writing struggles to elicit the same giggles.
And what of the acting, usually safe ground in the director's work (even Jennifer Lopez wasn't half bad in Jersey Girl)? Well, the smaller roles are, as ever, perfectly cast, from Lee's slimy stepfather to the hilarious detective duo played by Kevin Pollak and Adam Brody, not to mention a scene-stealing cameo by Seann William Scott on traditional, foul-mouthed form. The leads, on the other hand, are mismatched in terms of performance: while Willis is quite amusing (his trademark charm prevents him from being completely unlikable), Morgan's one-note shtick, which provides so many laugh-out-loud moments on 30 Rock, becomes grating when stretched over an entire film. No wonder his on-screen wife should feel tempted to have an affair.
Bottom line: Cop Out is an uneven mix of elements that work quite well separately but make for an unappealing blend if combined. Next time, Smith should stick to his own material: another View Askew story, maybe?Jimmy Monroe, the older experienced cop, loses a valuable baseball card and his partner Paul Hodges, the zany goof ball cop, must help him find it in time to pay for his daughter's wedding. Cue the wacky hijinks.
Bruce Willis and Kevin Smith have made a lot of bad movies over the last few years, but I'm amazed that either of them would go anywhere near this turkey. The acting is awful, the script super-humanly inept and the on screen chemistry between Willis and Morgan non-existent. I don't know if I laughed once. Cop Out is one of the rare comedies that you go from being in awe at how unfunny it is, which almost makes it funny, to being completely miserable watching it.
Tracy Morgan is doing the same shtick he did successfully in 30 Rock and failing miserably. Simply saying a line in a silly way doesn't make it funny, the actual line has to be funny. His character is extremely annoying and I don't know how were supposed to believe that he could put on his own pants, let alone become a successful cop and have a beautiful wife. Competing for the role of most irritating and unfunny character is Sean William Scott, who must be missing the American Pie days. He plays a dim-witted burglar named Dave who repeats what people say and tries to annoy them for no particular reason.
I truly don't even understand what Cop Out is supposed to be. The lines and characters are so absurd you can't possibly invest any emotion in the story and there don't appear to be that many actual jokes. Cop Out plays like a 5th rate knock off of Lethal Weapon without the comedy or the drama. Simply put; opt out of Cop Out.A movie that makes little sense, is dumb when it's not being stupid and yet is still at times laugh-out-loud funny.Cop Out is a comedy film written by screenwriting brothers, Mark and Robb Cullen. The screenplay started out as a spec script by Mark and Robb Cullen, so Kevin Smith's writing talent was not needed. He did not do a re-write of the script, despite some reports stating so. In his stand-up TV special "Too Fat for 40" he stated that he was essentially taking a break from writing as he tried to figure out why some of his more recent movies (namely "Zack and Miri Make a Porno") weren't doing as well. He realized his life circumstances had changed from the days of "Clerks" and "Mallrats" and that to try to write a movie like that at this stage of his life wouldn't be honest. He liked the script for "A Couple of Dicks" (the original and working title of "Cop Out") and loved growing up watching buddy cop movies with his dad. Jason Lee, who frequently works with Smith, appears in a brief (two scene) role as the step-father of Jimmy Monroe (Bruce Willis)'s daughter. Seann William Scott, Tracy Morgan, and Ernest O'Donnell appear in this film as well. 646f9e108c http://adulcounpo.epizy.com/HeMan_and_SheRa_The_Secret_of_the_Sword_full_movie_in_hindi_.pdf https://disqus.com/home/discussion/channel-bankpterinenda/every_man_and_his_ute_full_movie_download_mp4/ http://acsesysba.corplaunch.com//forums/viewtopic.php?p=39939160 http://soncapamo.guildwork.com/forum/threads/5ba2b60c002aa82e15ab7950-legends-of-the-dark-knight-download-torrent https://berstacipon.tk/thur/Battle-of-Los-Angeles-movie-free-download-in-hindi.html http://vrf.guildwork.com/forum/threads/5ba2b60b002aa82e106a63eb-the-justice-league-dark-full-movie-download-in-hindi http://trameserem.epizy.com/Written_Off_movie_free_download_in_hindi.pdf http://graph.org/The-Enloquecer-Mafiosos-Download-09-19 https://disqus.com/home/channel/comedian/discussion/channel-comedian/hunted_720p/ https://lenreiniden.tk/thur/Snapphanar-full-movie-in-hindi-free-download-hd-720p.html
