Can you beat this?

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
We all have gotten used to Bruce Willis being the action guy since his appearance in the first Die Hard film. Its hard-hitting action was a surprise complement to Willis’s portrayal of character—policeman John McClane. The story of Die Hard is serious but McClane wasn’t your typical stereotypical brooding action star. Willis made him someone who had attitude and with a bit of a swashbuckling and recklessly amusing disposition. In other words, he made the audience’s hearts leap while making them chuckle or even laugh at times. But that's old Hollywood celebrity news.

Cop Out-Bruce Willis-I can't believe it grin
Whaaat?
Willis’s tilted half grin is now a signature look of his that can give any serious scene that light “Willis” acting touch. Fans may have noticed it first from his Moonlighting days, and combined with his acting abilities, it might have been what made him a screen idol in the first place. Willis’s comedic celebrity appeal apparently was not missed by producers and directors even when he was cast as a lead in one action film after another. In Ocean’s Twelve, he played himself in a scene where he calls up Julia Roberts over the phone. That sequence definitely almost always draws out a smile from whoever’s watching.

Bruce Willis is now the lead in the comedy-action movie called Cop Out. Tracy Morgan and Seann William Scott star with him. Willis displays his usual matter-of-fact and easy-going attitude that we’ve come to expect from him. Morgan and Seann’s job is to complement that character and provide the exaggerated comedy acting that will excite more than just chuckles. In a way, it’s like having The Three Stooges in a serious movie—Willis is akin to Moe, Scott is akin to Larry, and Morgan is akin to Curly. Hollywood likes to rehash what's been proven to work, you know.

But we all know that the cast of Cop Out isn’t there for slapstick comedy. It’s how they deal with the situations they get into and how they relate with one another that’s what’s made funny in Cop Out. Director Kevin Smith made sure that the comedy is never out of place and only seems natural to the characters. As a matter of fact, if you watch Bruce Willis here, you’d think that he’s not really acting at all but still playing himself like what he did in Ocean’s Twelve. The same goes for Seann William Scott’s and Tracy Morgan’s acting. Audiences will see them as they usually portray themselves in other shows that they’ve come to know like Saturday Night Live and American Pie. And that’s not at all bad. If you think it is, then you can always “cop out” from watching this one.
