Overview

Detectives Jimmy and Paul, despite nine years as partners, can still sometimes seem like polar opposites—especially when Paul's unpredictable antics get them suspended without pay. Already strapped for cash and trying to pay for his daughter's wedding, Jimmy decides to sell a rare baseball card that's worth tens of thousands. Unfortunately, when the collector's shop is robbed and the card vanishes with the crook, Paul and Jimmy end up going rogue, tracking down the card and the drug ring behind its theft, all on their own time and without any backup—except for each other.

Joyless, pointless, humorless.

[A] pitifully unfunny 'hommage' to '80s action comedies.

Nigel Floyd, Time Out
Fresh

Smith certainly does his thing here, delivering a film that's part celebration and part parody of the well-worn genre.

Tom Long, Detroit News
Rotten

It just wants to remind audiences of something they've enjoyed before, like looking at an old photo album.

Mary F. Pols, MSN Movies
Rotten

Cop Out is a little too well-shot to be full-on cheesy and too much a redux to be, well, as fresh as Beverly Hills Cop or Lethal Weapon.
