Os Maus Policiais

The movie is cauterizing the society we live in, using extreme and laughable characters and stories. A society where someone only cares of what he is personally experiences,his meaningless dreams, or the short term pleasures, the perverted fantasies, and the power abuse and curruption people are willing to use to archieve those. Wrapped up with the stupudity of their characters.

Quentin Dupieux's films are not for everyone, but if you're looking for a very fun, absurdist film you're going to love Wrong Cops.

I can't understand why other reviewers hate on this film so much. I watched it and laughed my ass off and had a great time. It's my favorite film of the past year. It's deadpan absurdity, a sequence of slightly the surreal encounters of a police force that does more harm than good, who spend their time selling drugs, refusing to investigate crimes, and composing house music. Dupieux's films collectively are like a breath of fresh air in a stodgy and self-important film culture.

The plot of Wrong Cops is loose and it almost feels like a piece written for the stage. It's all about the slightly twisted encounters - from scene to scene there is no way to predict where the film will take you, and once it takes you there there's no way to know exactly where you are. This kind of mischievous disorientation can be very fun if you just let go and take the ride.

If you like David Lynch, Alejandro Jodorowsky, etc. - films that go over the top with their surrealism and absurdity, films that never feel quite comfortable and familiar yet which you can't look away from, you will love this film. If you're looking for standard fare, just don't watch it. It will probably make you angry.

This movie really wasn't for me, and I think that will be the case for most people. Those who do like this style may really enjoy it, but it's definitely not for your typical film fan. The movie has no real structure, plot, character development or anything, but at the same time it doesn't want to. It is totally absurdest. Nothing is believable, it has an odd feel the whole time and none of the characters are even remotely believable. Like I said before however, it doesn't want to. Its not that the movie tried to be a good movie and failed, it just didn't really try to be a movie at all. It's just a bunch of ridiculous things going on with ridiculous characters. For those who enjoy that type of thing, it may be very funny, but I didn't know what to expect when I started watching the film and it definitely wasn't what I was looking for. There was no story to really follow or get into, and since there's no real character development it isn't able to make any kind of humor based on the characters. I will say that a couple times I did laugh at just how ridiculous some of the dumb jokes were (not dumb as in bad, just purposefully random and absurd thing), but there just wasn't enough substance to the movie to leave me walking away thinking that I enjoyed the time I had just spent. I think this could have done better as a short film online or something so people could be more understanding and open to it, but since I found it on Netflix as a normal movie in the comedy section, I was expecting more. If you like adult swim and that type of totally random and absurd humor you will probably enjoy this movie. If you don't like that and are looking for a real movie with some meat to it whether comedy or not, you should probably skip over this one.

I am personally very surprised by the movies low rating. It is true that the movie has a specific type of humor you have to be into. But when you are into this kind of humor, you will very much enjoy this movie. I was pretty much laughing continuously for the whole movie. I guess comedies always get a relatively low rating because there are a lot of people out there without any humor. However of all comedies, this is definitely one of the better ones. My advice: watch the movie, if you are not rolling on the floor laughing after the first 10 minutes, don't watch the movie. If you are rolling on the floor laughing, well I don't have to tell you what to do. Anyhow, there is also another point which is the music, I can imagine that some people are annoyed by Quentin Dupieux electronic music, yes, in that case this movie is not your movie.

Like a more criminalistic and corrupt Reno 911 mixed with a stoner movie. There are a lot of unfunny parts but somehow that makes the movie better. I'd be interested to know if there was any script at all and, if so, how much of it actually made it into the film.
