Theater Whore: R.I.P.D

I kind of knew what I was getting into by seeing this movie. It reminds me of Hellboy and Constantine from the trailer. The difference is that I’ve watched the other films multiple times and will watch them again. Not so much with R.I.P.D. This movie could’ve been good but it seemed to drift in a strange place between a serious movie and a comedy but couldn’t find the proper balance to be an actual good movie.

Ryan Reynolds who single-handedly killed any hope for a good Green Lantern film plays a cop who is betrayed by his partner, Kevin Bacon. He ends up in the afterlife and being assigned to be a policeman that brings back dead people that don’t know they are dead of some bullshit. It really doesn’t make sense especially when later on you find out they have a plan. He leaves his wife behind who is totally being perved on by Bacon.
