Leave your thoughts about Cop Out.
| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda CookFoul-mouthed and mostly funny, "Cop Out" is an above-average movie helmed by Kevin Smith, directing for the first time a script that's not his own. |
| MovielineMichelle OrangeStraining to give limp quotation the luster of homage, Kevin Smith's Cop Out pays tribute mostly to the director's rich heritage of self-amusement. |
| New York TimesA.O. ScottIt’s a phoned-in, gutless piece of hack work that reminds you of other, better films in the same vein. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldIt's about as much fun as flying coach, and -- if you're seated next to Smith, anyway -- a lot less interesting. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowSmith needs to stop putting his creative energy into funny tweets and go back to writing scripts with heart and humor and memorable characters. |
| E! OnlineLuke Y. ThompsonWhile Smith's self-acknowledged weakness with action sequences is still evident, his gift for profanity-laden comedy more than makes up for it. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyVastly disappointing, Kevin Smith's poorly conceived, helmed, and executed film desperately tries to combine humor and violence a la 48 Hours and Midnight Run, but alas, from the start there's no emotional involvement in the material. |
| Screen InternationalBrent SimonMeandering and listless, Cop Out serves as ample proof that actors can't merely show up on the day of filming and wing it. This is a banter-driven comedy in which most of the banter just falls flat. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfWillis looks content here with punchlines and weapons, giving more of a John McClane performance here than he offered in the last Die Hard picture. Morgan goes supernova broad, but it's an appealing tornado of spastic distress. |
| ComingSoon.netJoshua StarnesCop Out is marvelously juvenile, not just in its typical situation comedy and sight gags, but from its ability (even desire) to frequently bring its plot to a shuddering halt so its characters can engage in a few minutes of quiet ridiculousness. |
