Good Cops? Bad Cops? Let's be cops was alright cops. This movie is like a buddy cop movie, except they are not really cops. Let's be Cops is about two longtime friends, reject video designer Justin Miller (Damon Wayans Jr) and washed up college quarterback, Ryan Mallory (Jake Johnson) whom truly direction-less in their lives. It wasn't until, they put on police uniforms for a costume party, that they realize the fame, and respect that comes with the badge. They continue to act like real life police, but soon, drew attention from both the local Russian mob boss, Mossi Kasic (James D'Arcy) and a corrupt police, Detective Brolin (Andy Garcia) when the fake cops start to interference with their plans to sell, police equipment in the black market. Now, Mallory and Justin Miller must find a way to stop the mob, while also keeping their secret, from the real police like Patrol Officer Seagars (Rob Riggle). The movie has a lot of recycle jokes taken from other movies like a grown man beating kids in football or a character get tackled by a fat naked guy so we can watch his testicles get rubbed on his face. The movie barely has anything new to bring to the table. After a while, the comedy just dies down, as the second half, become more and more seriously tone. The melodrama itself choke the humor into submission and become least fun to watch, toward the end. It didn't become light-hearted until during the credits, where they show them, playing around, again. Honestly, I can care less about Justin Miller's arch, because how annoying he is throughout the film. Damon Wayan overacts here. Always acting way too uptight, scare of everything, and moaning. His character is such a hypocrite. By the time, he has his hero moment, you just don't care. It's not like it matters, because they screw up that part, by have Damon Wayans act even more like a coward. His character was such a killjoy. I love Jake Johnson as the laid back, imprudent type character. He play the role, well, as he wasn't too pure obnoxiousness. His character was very too self-centered or narcissism idiotic enough to hate. He honestly had more of a sense of morals than what Damon Wayans's character was complaining about Mallory. In my opinion, I think both of them do have great screen chemistry together. Still, it could had been better. A good example of good fake buddy cop characters, is the two duos of USA Network Channel's TV Show's Psych (2006-2014), about two friends conning the police into thinking they're psychic detective. This movie should had made me feel the same way that shows does. Good. I didn't feel good, watching the two leads. The supporting cast was mostly alright. This is one of the very few, Rob Riggle's movies that I can really stand watching him. Keegan-Michael Key was also great in a cameo role as an eccentric Latino nutcase. Honestly, I didn't know it was him, at first until a closer look. He was bedecked with tattoos and various jewelries speaking amusing broken English. Good job from him. He really got into his small role. The female characters were a bit dry. Damon Wayans's character relationship with Josie (Nina Dobrev) seen a bit forced. Also, Josie only find him attract due to his social status as a fake cop. That's not real love, at all. I really doubt, these two, really care about each other, after all, Justin Miller after setting up a date, was willing to stop a fight between two sorority girls, because he thought they were going to be hot, while wasn't the case. One great highlight for me was the villain played by James D'Arcy. He remind me of a modern day, William the Butcher Cutting, with his acting throughout the film. I love, every minute of it. The action was so-so. Nothing much or new. The car chase and shoot-outs were way too short. The stunt work was alright for the most part. Overall: Sadly, this movie kinda disappointed me. Don't get me wrong, it's not the worst movie, it's just mediocre as hell. We have a 187 here. Victim is known as the movie "Let be Cops', suspect shot it down. Yes, I did! Bang! Bang!
