48KDer Kaufhaus Cop: Directed by Steve Carr. With Kevin James, Keir O’Donnell, Jayma Mays, Raini Rodriguez. When a shopping mall is taken over by a gang of organized crooks, it’s up to a mild-mannered security guard to save the day.
“When I saw the trailer for this movie, I was more than anxious to see it. Then I saw another one and it made me see it even more. Then I saw the movie and guess what, all the good scenes were those that Iu0026#39;ve already seen and nothing more. The idea itself is a very interesting one at very least, but itu0026#39;s the realization is where the movie fails. The story begins to borderline on being boring halfway through, and it all begins to be more than predictable. Once or twice the story takes an engaging turn, but itu0026#39;s really not enough. The funny parts are to be counted on the fingers of one hand, and the ending is -again- so predictable, it hurts. Which is a shame, because the acting is really good, Kevin James is truly shining through and proving that heu0026#39;s a really good actor; again, not nearly enough to salvage the shortcomings of the plot and the lack of jokes. Which is a shame. Movie starts really promising, but the further we go into the movie, the more painful it becomes to watch it. As if the makers gave up on it after shooting the first 30 minutes. Iu0026#39;m giving it 5 stars only because the first half an hour is really decent. And I gotta admire James doing all his stunts. So do yourself a favor. Donu0026#39;t watch the movie. Watch the trailers. Thatu0026#39;s all you need to see.”
