I don’t quite have the…opinion of Kevin Smith as some of the more notable gentlemen on the site. But needless to say, I had zero, and I mean zero interest in seeing Cop Out. The movie review merely confirmed what I already suspected: that the film was going to be stir fried ass. The kind of stir fry that went bad even before you left in it in the fridge for six or seven months. The film has been reviled, even though it did make its money back plus a little pocket change at the box office.
So it’s a little surprising that one of the first things Tracy Morgan jumps back into is another cop movie. This time, however, the film, titled Son of No One, is on the serious side. Joining Morgan is Juliette Binoche, and the previously-cast Channing Tatum, Al Pacino, Ray Liotta, and Katie Holmes. In the film, Tatum plays a young cop
assigned to a precinct in the working class neighborhood where he
grew up, with an old secret surfacing and threatening to destroy
his life and family.

Who does Pacino play…? Who's making this movie…? Or is no production attached yet…? Why is there not more information in this article…?
"I don't quite have the…opinion of Kevin Smith as some of the more notable gentlemen on the site"…ZING! devin got called out on his own site!..But in all seriousness, Cop Out did look like ass and Al Pacino and Ray Liotta continue to waste their talent in movies with Channing Tatum and Katie Holmes…Pacino needs to stick to more character stuff like "Chinese Coffee" and Liotta seems best in ensemble dramas (but with a better cast than those mentioned above)
Morgan shouted and mugged his way through COP OUT. But the script was so utterly weak I guess he had to fall back on schtick to make any sort of impression.
But I can't blame Morgan too much for that. That was Smith's fault for not reigning him in or coming up with better jokes on the set.
It's a beautiful thing that Cop out is Smith's most critically reviled film and also his most commercially successful. Goes to show you that word of mouth beats the influence of bitter amateur critics every time. Also, Cop Out wasn't very good. But the negative online reaction to it is almost purely based on people being let down by their past expectations of their former geek messiah. /shit people have said already
Remember when Bruce Willis had a career that didn't suck ass? Granted, even during his better days he did a lot of shit movies, but…damn. He seriously needs to consider taking the money he's earned and just retire (except when he knows he can net a massive paycheck, like the inevitable Die Hard 5, 6, and 7 – that will probably be pitched as a trilogy and in 3D), get himself a new agent, or look into getting a regular gig back on television. I think Unbreakable was the last movie he did that didn't eat mountains of ass.
Channing Tatum is the new Chris Klein?
So….how the hell does Tracey Morgan keep getting work? One of the most consistently unfunny comedians ever?
EIGHT FUCKING TIMES FOR THIS FUCKING VERIFICATION SHIT NOW.
I agree with #7. Tracey Morgan is as funny as Will Ferrell…which is to say not funny at all.
I agree tracy morgan and will ferrell are so annoying I stopped watching SNL as soon as Will Ferrell showed up. I love Bruce Willis but Tracy Morgan is the reason I turned it off after 15 mins
