buddy cop
“Greedy People” follows two bumbling cops who accidentally murder a rich civilian, finding themselves in the crosshairs of foes that wanted to do so first.
Spenser Confidential feels generic, tonally confused, and most importantly, the product of a workmanlike filmmaker clearly out of his element.
Stuber isn’t a life changing film, but it’s a worthy addition to the buddy-cop comedy pantheon.
With a barely comprehensible plot and mind-numbing jokes, Show Dogs is a film which feels like a labour to sit through despite its fairly short run-time.
Wasted characters, little humor, and lackluster action scenes make CHiPs a rather bland adaptation of the famous TV series.
Thought the buddy cop movie formula was tired? Well, it is a cinematic breath of fresh air in comparison to the “bad cop” movie. These movies are tiresome depictions of lawmen (and make no mistake, they are always men) who break every rule in the book whilst trying to enforce it – and even though there have been solid entries into the genre in recent years, it can’t help but feel worn out.
Shane Black’s The Nice Guys couldn’t come at a better time. Actually, strike that. If it had come out just a few months later after the slog of the summer movie season of blockbuster remakes, sequels, reboots, and rehashes had polluted our minds, then perhaps it would be received all the more with acclaim.
