Review of Cop Out (2010) by Nathaniel R — 16 Jun 2012
Cop Out is Kevin Smith's "h"omage to Shane Black's (Lethal Weapons/Last Boy Scout) "buddy cop/partner" 80's/90's action comedies. I do miss this genre and hopefully this movie can be a stepping stone into bringing back what Rush Hour tried to do, bring back the Saturday matinee movie but with curse words.
Unfortunately Kevin Smith, although talented at creating dialogue between characters has a hard time with action sequences. But he is an action scene virgin, his prior movies had more comedic action indie qualities and these scenes weren't that bad but hey.
..practice makes perfect. Its still a fun movie and its got a Harold Faltermeyer (Top Gun/Tango & Cash) score to it...speaking of 80s "h"omage.
