  Los Angeles TimesBetsy Sharkey

  There is enough ridiculous fun in the Tracy Morgan- Bruce Willis pairing as two of Brooklyn's "finest" to get many of you past the squirm-inducing stuff.

  Definitely has its amusing moments, but ultimately all that improvised shtick gets mighty tired without any real break in the nonaction.

  Without that heightened racial antipathy-turned-camaraderie, there's not a whole lot to Cop Out besides watching Kevin Smith pretend, with a crudeness that is simply boring, that he's an action director making a comic thriller about cops versus a Mexican drug gang (yawn).

  There's precious little of that tension to be found between co-leads Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan, but more than enough between director Kevin Smith and the shoddy script he's elected to take on, and neither seems willing to budge.

  Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert

  A lot of the dialogue is intended as funny, but man, is it lame.

  Director Kevin Smith's tweets, jokes and sharp commentary after being denied a seat aboard a Southwest Airlines flight because of his girth were a lot more engaging than Cop Out, his new movie.

  The New York TimesA.O. Scott

  It's a phoned-in, gutless piece of hack work that reminds you of other, better films in the same vein.
