Desperation oozes from every frame of Cop Out, wherein director Kevin Smith stains his already-dubious résumé. Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan are partners in law out to recover a stolen baseball card from some badass Hispanic gangsters. The jokes are spewed as if they were a barrage of bullets: fitting, since this purported comedy is also senselessly violent – guns are fired with reckless abandon. Blood is carelessly spilled. Then there’s the Seann William Scott stoner scenes, but, really, why prolong the torment?
