White Cop

White Cop is a hyper-self-aware, campy, film. I can't tell if it's making fun of buddy cop movies from the 80's, or blacksploitation movies of the 70s. But I think that's the point. It constantly jumps back and forth across the line of the absurd.

Ben Kobold as Kip White carries the film with ease. It's fun to watch him as Kip - tip toeing around his sexuality, physicality and, angry dimwittedness. His unique look in the film adds to the weirdness in a good way.

Joe Ferrel is a solid chief and Will Flanagan as another detective steals the scenes he's in. Jennifer Mills plays the bartender with just the right amount of lust and takes the role serious enough that we really believe her and her motives.

There are some parts that feel out of place, or that they drag on for too long - The music-video training montage wasn't as fun as it should have been. David Liebehart makes an appearance as the mayor, but really fails to deliver the gravitas the role needed. Liz Harvey also feels underutilized and slapped on a weird accent.

All in all - the movie was worthwhile. It made me laugh where it should have and feel weird when it should have. The ending perfectly goes where it should to make it satisfying.
