The plot is as follows: Taking place in the bustling metropolis of New York City, The Other Guys opens as we see that the best cops in the NYPD, a dynamic detective duo consisting of Christopher Danson and P.K. Indeed it might a flaw here and there, but by and large The Other Guys is a quite hilarious and engaging little slice of cinematic pie that I promise you should definitely check out if given the chance to do so. Indeed deciding to poke some fun at the super cop movies from a long time ago, this 2010 slice of cinematic pie from the dynamic duo of Will Ferrell and film helmer Adam McKay is one that presents us with quite the intriguing collection of questions starting with just who in the world are all those other cops who are always milling around the precinct while the hero cop is going out, kicking bad guy butt, and dispensing with some ice cold justice in the best way possible? Indeed are these other cops other super cops who just didn’t get the chance to save the day that time for whatever reason? Is the heroics and the phenomenal devotion to the job something only a handful of cops possess or do police units the world over train all new officers in making their vehicle pursuits cinematic and their shootouts like something out of a video game? Is every officer blessed with having an otherworldly gun that no matter how many bad guys they mow down never in need of reloading or are they only given to a select few who manage to prove themselves worthy like Thor’s hammer, but in Glock form? Indeed if these are all questions you have found yourself asking during any police movie, with particular regard to the ones from the 80s like Cobra, then I promise you have found the film which will try its best to answer your questions. I think it is safe to start this review off by saying that the film I am reviewing today, 2010’s The Other Guys is one that hedges all of its bets on a particularly novel and intriguing plot only to give us a film that is not bad, but could easily have been a lot better.
