Netflix
Ed Helms plays a cop struggling to keep his girlfriend's son safe in Michael Dowse's Netflix action-comedy costarring Taraji P. Henson.
A tone-deaf attempt to recreate the nasty comic vibe people associate with certain '80s buddy cop films, Michael Dowse's Coffee & Kareem names a key character for director Walter Hill, just to make sure we know what it's going for. Then it tweaks the Eddie Murphy-era format by pairing a white cop with a distractingly foul-mouthed black twelve-year old. It tosses this unlikable duo into a contrived scenario of dirty cops, drug dealers, strip clubs and endless reversals of fortune. But making a film that feels two days long is not the same thing as making 48 Hrs.........
