Out of five stars, I give this one is a solid four. If you liked Shaun of the Dead at all, then you will love this movie. Some of the jokes are pretty obvious (although usually still funny), and some of them fall a little flat. But for the most part, this movie is just one laugh after another as the cast both celebrates and pokes fun at all of the great cop movies you've ever seen. This is a solid film and a great laugh.
Movie to Skip: The Devil's Tomb
Out of sheer pity, I've given this movie one and a half out of five stars. It is clear that a LOT of money went into this movie; the production value is great, but it really doesn't pan out. I've seen quite a few lower budget films that feature no-named talent that do the whole 'paramilitary unit fights the zombie/possessed horde while channeling Indiana Jones' thing MUCH better than this one. The script is terrible, and the story is confusing... at best. I really do wish the best for Cuba Gooding, Jr., but has he done anything worth watching since Jerry Maguire? Wasn't that almost 15 years ago?! And for poor Sean Connery's kid, Jason Connery, this wasn't a great film upon which to build a promising career. Save an hour and a half of your life and see Hot Fuzz again instead.
