Review: Like I said, i guess some people were expecting WAY too much here. If anyone was expecting to compare this to clerks or any other Kevin Smith film, you probably need to A.) get a life and B.)not even waste your time babbling
This WAS NOT written by Kevin Smith……period. He directed it, which means he simply took the job as Director. And don tell me for a second that you wouldn take the job, because no one will believe you, especially considering if they mentioned they were going to hire Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan. After all, its not like people are knocking at Kevin Smiths door begging him to direct movies every day. So hes a writer and director, he will go where the work is! Smith simply got left with a cruddy script, and forced to deal with it and direct it!
Now okay, with all the purely stupid “Kevin smith flaming” aside.
This movie was pretty funny. It definitely had a lot of cliché or obvious moments in the movie. But if you can put those aside, its not THAT bad.
Tracy Morgan was being just that…… Tracy Morgan! Heres another area I have a problem with, people bashing Morgan for a poor performance…… He was FUNNY in this movie! He didn exactly shine, but he was his normal edgy, goofy self. Seriously what were people expecting? A golden award winning performance? Ha….. Give me a break. Tracy definitely held the movie together.
Bruce Willis was pretty funny as well. Again, were people seriously expecting a grammy performance? This is a cop action/ comedy, bruce WAS funny, i love seeing him throw around the F word and cursing in every sentence, and considering Die Hard 4 was censored to hell, this movie shows he can still talk like he did in the original 3 Die Hards. People also mentioned how he “dragged” through the film. I disagree, his character IS a little slower and angry, but wouldn you be too if you just lost your job as a police officer? So now that we have some logic here, Bruce wasn that bad at all. Like I said, he acted pretty solid, threw tons of F bombs around, and I was just glad to see that! It really made him look young again and reminded me of some of his earlier films!
Sean William Scott was also in this film, and trash talked too. Once again I disagree, I thought he was his typical self! He wasn quite as great as in dukes of hazard or evolution, but he does have some funny lines in this movie! Not to mention, he still looks young and active, so nothings really changed. ( and watch a few minutes into the credits, its pretty funny)
Overall its a pretty funny action cop movie, with some typical cliché moments. I thought the bad guys were really lame and fairly new edge typical too. There are a few failed attempts, but other than that, its a funny movie if taken lightly and as long as your not expecting a ground breaking comedy. Its not going to win any awards, but its just goofy, funny and kind of quirky.
