In an age where movies are recasting traditional heroes and making them different ethnicities and genders one movie has the courage to go in the complete opposite direction. WHITE COP!
You know those movies with the really cool suave black cop (Beverly Hills Cop, Shaft) or those buddy cop films where one is calm and collected and the other is a wild card (Lethal Weapon) Well forget those. This movie is basically if the nerdy cop Cecil from Robocop was the hero.
White Cop is really funny homage to B-movie cop flicks and also a parody to films like Beverly Hills Cop. The main character is nerdy, cowardly, scrawny, and totally not up for the job. The best scene is early on when he blows his "special friend J.J.'s" cover. White cop is really clever when it comes to its role reversals such as the "european drug cartel" and I think the psychiatrist is probably my favorite character. Usually the psychiatrist is sympathetic or falls in love with the damaged cop...this one act appropriately and demands he get kicked off the force.
You really can't go wrong with this one. See it ASAP!
