Movie#70 Cop Out

Have you heard the phrase 'it would grow on you with time'? Well, according to me, this movie is the perfect example. Starring an unusual combination of Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan, it is categorized under the genre of action-comedy-crime in imdb.com
The story gist is that BW and TM are police officers and partners. After screwing up a cover operation both of them get suspended. BW need money quickly to pay for his daughter's wedding or else he would feel slighted in front of his ex's second husband. So, BW decides to sell of his rare baseball card for money but it gets stolen and ends up with a dangerous gang. Now he needs to retrieve the card and to do so he gives in to the demand of the gang boss that he would find his stolen mercedes. But the mercedes hides something that he had not bargained for…
I felt so bored with both BW's and TM's acting at the starting of the movie. BW was trying hard to be 'cool' while TM was trying very very hard to be funny. The problem is that director tried to convey the comics through TM's dialogues and it really gets irritating. Then enter Mr Sean William Scott towards the end of the 1^st  half. It is from this point on the movie redeems itself. TM's vocals tone down and comics get funny through facial expressions and actions, more with the help of SWS. Cool scenes happen in which the director wrecks a mercedes and a dodge in a car chase bit. BW's 'coolness' improves towards the end and that's how all in all the movie grows on you. But it is not a must watch though.
My personal rating is 2.5 out of 5…
