Cop Out is a 2010 American buddy cop action comedy film directed and edited by Kevin Smith and written by Mark and Robb Cullen. It is the only film in Smith’s career that he directed without writing himself. The film stars Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan as veteran NYPD detectives who become entangled in a case involving a stolen rare baseball card, which leads them into conflict with a memorabilia-obsessed gangster. The supporting cast includes Adam Brody, Kevin Pollak, Guillermo Diaz, and Seann William Scott.

The film was released theatrically in the United States on February 26, 2010, by Warner Bros. Pictures. Despite receiving negative reviews from critics, Cop Out became Smith’s highest-grossing film, earning $55 million worldwide against a production budget of $30 million.
