movie review - The Other Guys
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-eight years and a million words
Toronto, 2015.07.08
This is a buddy-cop movie in which two jerks in the precinct take up an important case following the deaths of the actual stars. The problems with this movie are many, ranging from the incredibly stupid way that the stars die to the implausibility of a former pimp becoming a detective. There was one thing I picked up on, eventually: I suspect the lack of chemistry between the two jerk-heroes in this might have been because of some off-screen issue: clashing egos or perhaps dissatisfaction with the script or direction.
Not recommended. I'm not sure why I eventually watched this.
