'Mob Cops' Review: A Cookie-Cutter Crooked Cop Drama

Gangster entertainment is arguably red-hot these days, with Guy Ritchie's MobLand breaking streaming records as just one recent example. And this week, a New York-set film from good ol' Lionsgate centers on what it calls the darkest corruption case in the history of the NYPD. I guess that's saying something, folks. Unfortunately, Mob Cops is too often plagued by tough-guy one-liners that will make you cringe ("with all due respect, f*** ya motha") and boneheaded decisions that would make sleazes like Henry Hill (GoodFellas) scoff in disapproval. Directed by Danny A. Abeckaser and written by Kosta Kondilopoulos, the latest David Arquette (Scream) picture will inevitably live in the shadows of your favorite gangster films from decades past.
