A half-baked concept halfheartedly executed.

REVIEWS FOR COP OUT
As something of a Kevin Smith fan, this mostly hurt to watch.
Aug 19, 2010
Willis and Morgan are a devilishly delightful down and dirty detective duo, as Kevin Smith releases their combo inner zany outlaws in a kind of Clerks with badges.
Jul 24, 2010
...it looks as though everyone in the film had a better time making it than the audience has watching it.
Jul 22, 2010
Once you've boogied out to Harold Faltermeyer's self-parodic "Axel F"-style music, it's all downhill from there. [Blu-ray]
Jul 19, 2010
Ultimately, there are hints that Cop Out was supposed to be something smarter and less lazy, but no-one involved seems to be able to counter the truly terrible script.
May 27, 2010
It could have been a match made in heaven. The snake in the garden is a tired script from Rob and Mark Cullen, which purports to “spoof” Eighties buddy movies (Beverly Hills Cop, Lethal Weapon, etc) but lacks any real brain power of its own.
May 27, 2010
Trying to make up for a lack of genuine wit, this film adopts a frenetic pace with a constant stream of jokes and action. The result is watchable, occasionally funny and instantly forgettable.
May 27, 2010
Seann William Scott provides some amusing moments as irrepressible thief Dave but they are few and far between.
May 24, 2010
The whole enterprise plays out like a bad, dumbed-down US version of Hot Fuzz, or Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, minus Robert Downey Jr and the meticulously structured verbal riffs.
May 24, 2010
It's just not very funny -- despite the all-too-apparent struggle to deliver verbal fireworks, there's something immovably sluggish and inert about it.
May 20, 2010
Cop Out marks a new low which is really saying something given that Smith's the man behind Mallrats, Chasing Amy and Jersey Girl.
May 20, 2010
Whilst Smith uses crash zooms and slow motion to evoke the likes of Michael Bay, it just feels clumsy and drawn-out.
May 20, 2010
Kev, get thee to a typewriter. You’re so much better than this.
May 20, 2010
[A] pitifully unfunny ‘hommage’ to ’80s action comedies.
May 20, 2010
The plot is unexciting and the dialogue terrible. This is crude, unfunny and unwatchable, so avoid.
May 20, 2010
Cop Out's the most walk-out-able film I've seen in ages.
May 20, 2010
Like Willis, the formula just comes across as old and tired.
May 20, 2010
How's the idea of a grown man punching an 11-year-old in the groin sound? There you go.
May 20, 2010
Unfortunately, one lame Die Hard joke in the excruciating opening sequence is as self-aware as Cop Out gets. What’s worse, it doesn’t even satisfy on more basic levels: the action scenes are too simple to be exciting, the comedy barely even registers.
