Action Movie Two longtime NYPD partners on the trail of a stolen, rare, mint-condition baseball card find themselves up against a merciless,Movie Download Free memorabilia-obsessed gangster. Jimmy (Bruce Willis) is the veteran detective whose missing collectible is his only hope to pay for his daughter’s upcoming wedding, and Paul (Tracy Morgan) is his “partner-against-crime” whose preoccupation with his wife’s alleged infidelity makes it hard for him to keep his eye on the ball.Free Online Movie

As soon as the song ends, Paul interrogates a detainee, solely using lines and references from films that riddle cable television, including Willis’ own “Die Hard,” which, in the first truly laugh out loud moment of the film, Jimmy says, “Never seen that one.” At this moment, we know that these cops aren’t serious, and they’re not even that good at their jobs. A few scenes later in a chase-out gone terribly awry, complete with Paul dressed in a full body foam cell phone suit, we see the latest blunder of the duo, this time resulting in a one-month suspension without pay.

In his first stint as director but not writer of the film, Smith chronicles the slapstick journey of Jimmy and Paul during their one-month suspension. As you can guess, they didn’t idly sit at home. No, Jimmy wants to save the day (and save face) and pay for his daughter Ava’s (Michelle Trachtenberg) incredibly expensive wedding, so her annoying, rich stepfather Roy (Jason Lee) doesn’t foot the bill and steal Jimmy’s pride. But without income for the month, Jimmy chooses to sell a relic of his childhood, his priceless ’52 Pafko baseball card, which will cover the expenses of the wedding and then some.

That’s, of course, easier said than done.

While trying to sell the card to an eager Brooklyn pawn-shop owner, Paul’s paranoia turned obsession that his wife (Rashida Jones) is cheating on him, got the better of him once more, and the duo is paired once more with the task of recovering from a serious blunder. A robbery at the pawn-shop by the acrobatic burglar Dave (Seann William Scott) sends the defective police duo into a retrieval mission, so as not to let rival police duo–Hunsacker and Mangold (Kevin Pollack and Adam Brody)–save the day. They are going to get the card back, pay for the wedding and let Hunsacker and Mangold suffer in the process. This sends them on a ridiculous journey through Brooklyn and Queens, in a string of highly comedic, if not totally unimportant, moments.

Mr. Smith, who is best known (and best suited) for the scatological, free-form philosophy of “Clerks,” “Dogma” and “Clerks II,” has acknowledged that “Cop Out” represented an opportunity to cash a studio paycheck and try his hand at a popular genre.

As an action-comedy director, he shows himself to be not altogether incompetent, but admirers of his other movies (myself at least partially included) will search in vain for signs of his signature blend of bad-boy provocation and regular-guy sincerity. (Of course we can find plenty of that on Twitter, where Mr. Smith tweets as prolifically as a planeload of parakeets and has a following most religious leaders would envy.) Traces of his style are discernible in the loose, shaggy rhythm he sometimes allows to take over a scene, but most of “Cop Out” consists of clumsy swerves from dumb humor to grim brutality, as Jimmy and Paul’s personal issues entwine with their pursuit of a sadistic Mexican drug dealer (Guillermo Diaz).

In the film’s favor, it should be noted that this chase winds through some actual Brooklyn locations, including a sylvan corner of Prospect Park and —twice! — the L&B Spumoni Gardens, a venerable and beloved al fresco pizzeria in Bensonhurst that serves some of the best Sicilian pie in the borough. But local color and playful good humor will only take you so far, and “Cop Out” does not amount to much more than a blooper reel in search of a movie.

“Cop Out” is rated R (under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). It’s thoroughly childish, but with swearing and shooting.
