Cop Out

YEAR 2010

DIRECTOR Kevin Smith

STARRING Bruce Willis, Tracy Morgan

 WRITER Robb Cullen, Mark Cullen

OVERVIEW A comedy about a veteran NYPD cop (Willis) whose rare baseball card is stolen. Since it's his only hope to pay for his daughter's upcoming wedding, he recruits his partner(Morgan) to track down the thief.

OPINION  Great casting!!!! Great scripting (unless it was ad libbing?) Is Morgan the inspiration for Shrek? He is fascinating to watch. He has a comic’s timing to die for and a face to match. There are 3 scenes I could watch over and over again..so far …4 times. The ‘interview room’ scene at the Police Station , the ‘Knock knock’ scene in the Police car and the ‘Italian mother ‘ at the burglary scene. Willis is perfect and modest. He gifts Morgan most of the screen time and Morgan deserves it.

The pace is fabulous.
