Live Oak — Cop Out

DVD $28.99 / Blu-ray $35.99

Bruce Willis and former “30 Rock” star Tracy Morgan team for this revival of an old Hollywood staple, the “buddy cop” comedy-drama. As longtime NYPD partners on the trail of a stolen ultra-rare baseball card, they find themselves facing a menacing, memorabilia-obsessed gangster. Extras on the Blu-ray include an hour of outtakes, a DVD and digital copy of the film, and “walk-ons” by director Kevin Smith, who strolls into the bottom of the screen to provide running comic commentary.
