Die Detectives Jimmy (Bruce Willis) und Paul (Tracy Morgan) halten seit vielen Jahren die New Yorker Straßen von großen und kleinen Ganoven frei. Doch plötzlich sieht sich das Cop-Duo einem gnadenlosen Gangster gegenüber, der als besessener Sammler von Baseball-Raritäten ausgerechnet bei Jimmy zuschlägt: Er klaut ihm eine extrem seltene, historische Baseball-Sammelkarte in druckfrischem Zustand. Jimmy setzt alles daran, seinen wertvollsten Schatz wieder in eigenen Besitz zu bringen, denn durch den Verkauf will er die einzige Möglichkeit nutzen, seiner über alles geliebten Tochter die Hochzeit zu finanzieren. Leider kann er sich dabei nicht mehr auf seinen Partner Paul verlassen. Der ist seit kurzem von der fixen Idee besessen, seine Frau würde ihn betrügen und ist deshalb nicht ganz bei der Sache… (Warner Bros. DE)

Was? Diesen Film hat Kevin Smith gedreht? Sogar Jersey Girl hatte viel mehr Smith-Charakter. Cop Out – Geladen und entsichert ist seltsam. Sein Drehbuch ist nicht so saftig, wie ich es erwartet habe. Momente, in denen ich gelächelt habe, könnte ich an einer Hand abzählen. Darüber hinaus ist Smith kein Actionszenen-Regisseur. In diesem Film hat er außerdem auch die meisten Dialogszenen verdächtig nachlässig gemacht. Tracy Morgan ist kein Schauspieler und schon überhaupt kein Komiker. Die Schufte sind lächerlich (meistens ungewollt), die Musik hat mir auch nicht gefallen… Das Einzige, auf das sich Cop Out – Geladen und entsichert verlassen kann, hat eine Glatze und heißt Bruce Willis. Aber auch er hat uns schon mehrmals gezeigt, dass er sich über sich selbst viel besser lustig machen kann.

At first, all that constant shouting pissed me off, but then I got used to it. Cop Out is watchable, one-off entertainment that fizzles out very quickly. It’s best feature are the dialogues written by Kevin Smith, who basically directed it on demand and the result is an utterly derivative film that could be credited to any Nobody out there. It’s not bad or stupid, it’s just tragically uninteresting. I laughed only twice, it’s not bursting out with humour. Actually, it was considerably more fun when there was some action than when it was time to attempt a joke.

While there are names like Bruce Willis and Sean William Scott, it is Tracy Morgan who surprisingly shines the most, and I enjoyed him mostly for his love of movies. It passes by fine, there are a few good jokes, but I'll stick with the better average.

Lame. Not as awful as I was expecting, but still pretty lame. The original title, A Couple of Dicks, would seriously have suited it better. It’s a long time since I saw two bigger dickheads on the screen. Bruce’s role is really dumb and it’s obvious that there are just a couple of moments where he actually enjoyed the acting. Tracy “Chimp" Morgan is awful and his antics absolutely buried the movie. Kevin Smith can’t film action and the dialogs that unfortunately don’t come from his own head have very few high points. Effing and blinding, even if it’s well-done, isn’t everything and Cop Out just isn’t good enough to be a nostalgia movie. A waste of time. If only Smith and Willis had tried a different movie.

Cop Out is a typical American comedy with one tough and cool cop and his goofy and garrulous partner, the kind that divides most of the audience into fans and detractors. And since I fall roughly somewhere in between, and with each successive similar film, mostly exactly the same in terms of the nature of its humour, I'm slowly beginning to shift to the side of the naysayers, and I rate Cop Out neutrally. It's not a parade of awkwardness, and the dogged pursuit of the joke at all costs often works, which is good, but for a comedy from "visionary" Kevin Smith and starring a still-iconic action star, it is to some extent a parade of creative awkwardness and extreme desperation... Basically, nobody needs to see films like this anymore. 55%

As a nearly boundless admirer of Kevin Smith's work, I didn't quite understand this one. Bruce isn't bad, but it's a fairly typical role for him. Tracy Morgan is terrible and it shows that he's bearable in short TV formats, where his 30 Rock character thrives with many jokes, but the same doesn't happen in the movie. The problem is also that Kevin Smith wanted to make a comedy, but apparently didn't have his funny cereal in the morning. And that's how the mush from this film was made. Suffer, viewer.
