Cop Out...what are its failings?
I have a review (of sorts) at http://housesardis.blogspot.com/2011/12/cop-out-2010_20.html
It basically boils down to the observation that Tracy Morgan killed any chance for this movie to be enjoyable. Yes, it had a host of failings beyond Morgan, but he was so loud and obnoxious that he became the focus of my derision for the film.
There are issues with not focusing on any of the intertwining plots in any way that would involve the audience. There is the underuse of the supporting cast. There is the lack of ambition when it comes to setting up shots or conveying action. But all of these could be accepted if the two leads were fun and engaging. Willis largely underplays his role, trying to overcome some obvious problems with the script. Morgan, on the other hand, seems like an eight year child demanding the attention of adults who are trying to focus on anything more worthwhile.
Just my thoughts on the matter. For those who found other flaws, I would be curious as to read what they are. Love, like, dislike, or loathe Cop Out, I'm betting that there are some observations as to what went wrong in some parts.
