Buddy-Cop Movie

Rating: 7/10 (24 May 2016)

Welcome to this newly created world. Everything lives in harmony and it seems to run perfectly. Let's take this amazing world and make a Buddy-Cop movie out of it and smash some Buddy-Cop clichÃ©s into it.
Starting off with our Checklist:
1. The Police Chief is an Asshole.
2. Maincharacter is told repeatedly how he is a looser.
3. Mismatched Characters become partners. (Yeye, Nick is not a Cop but he becomes one in the end so I will count it)
5. The partners have a falling out.
6. The partner/s give/s up his/their Badge/s.
7. Two buddies are discouraged from pursuing the case
8. But they keep pursuing it anyway, even off the job
9. Suspects forcefully interrogated.
10. Conspiracy plot that could go all the way to the top
11. Corruption.
12. Maincharacter gets reinstated instantly after cracking the case
I can probably find more but these were the ones that just came off the top of my head.
So why do I still give it a 7/10. It's simple, because making a buddy-cop Movie without clichÃ©s is impossible. Everything that is important is how you package it and Disney created an interesting world and characters around those clichÃ©s making the viewer forget them. It is not a movie I would watch over and over again, but it is really enjoyable to watch once but it won't stick. Most will forget the movie in a couple of years.
