The opening scene consists of Duke (Mark Burnham) a Tom Arnold looking cop selling pot to a kid packaged inside a dead rat. The kid objects, but Duke chastises him into thinking it is normal...as does all his other customers. The film focuses on the antics of 3-5 cops. There is no character introduction, just connected bits. There is a bizarre story line to the film.

As despicable and crazy of a character as Duke, he is the closest thing to a protagonist and voice of reason.

Eric Wareheim plays a cop who misuses his authority for his breast fetish.

Steve Little is a desk cop who is still in the closet and doesn't want his family to know.

Shirley (Arden Myrin) is Eric's partner and is all about herself.

Marilyn Manson and Eric Roberts have minor roles.

I would say the film wasn't great, but it was fun to watch with popcorn. If you read the by-line it claims the film was about attempting to dispose of a body (Daniel Quinn) one of them accidentally shot. That was indeed part of it, but the film had some more stuff going for it. And BTW, the body they want to dispose of is not dead yet.

Parental Guide: excessive F-bombs, sex, minor nudity.

There are always periods of times where this specific title could be seen in a different light (violence from cops and other events). But don't even go there. Actually don't even try to see this as an ordinary film. If you know the director, you obviously don't need this warning, but as I can see from some reviews, some people just went in like that (which is OK in itself),but started ranting stuff that make no sense concerning the movie.

Let's get this straight: If you haven't seen Rubber or Wrong, you may be in for a surprise. And that might be unpleasant for you. But don't insult the filmmakers and/or compare this to a Tarantino wannabe. That's just plain ... wrong! No pun intended. Back to this "movie", which is a collection of events happening to certain characters. It's almost like a compilation of sketches. It actually seems to have more of coherent story than Rubber for example. You'll either like the very disturbing sense of humor or you won't. You'll know very early on

"This stinks of Germany!," hollers Duke (Mark Burnham),a pudgy, crooked cop, who is one of the many characters in Quentin Dupieux's latest film Wrong Cops. The context involves a shady figure named David Delores Frank (Marilyn Manson) giving Duke a taste of the new-age, Dubstep-esque kind of music the kids are listening to today. The scene is an accurate summation of everything Wrong Cops includes - quirky characters, inane little vignettes, random bits of humor, comedic laxness, and bumping house music housed inside a seventy-eight minute runtime.

This is Dupieux's third feature, his first being the widely-scene sleeper-hit Rubber, involving a killer tire, Wrong, a damning film about a man who wanders into the strangest of circumstances while trying to find his lost dog, and now Wrong Cops, the sorta-kinda followup to his last endeavor. The film continues the line of absurdist, surreal comedy, which is really hit and miss in the long run. However, Wrong Cops has probably more hits than any of Dupieux's previous features. Rubber was great fun for about fifty minutes - the problem was it was eighty minutes long - and Wrong felt like a screen writing exercise involving vapid characters and asinine circumstances clobbered together.

Wrong Cops, similar to Wrong in several ways, flies by the seat of its pants, possessing a vague plot that can be summarized in a sentence and includes numerous vignettes on its many characters. The plotlessness helps Dupieux communicate every cockamamie thing he wants to in a relatively short amount of time, so calling the film a burden on somebody's behalf is quite the overstatement. The story revolves around a band of bumbling cops who accidentally shoot an innocent person and must dispose of his body. Now that the plot is out of the way, the story largely focuses on the antics involving Duke, a hilariously vulgar officer who deals bags of marijuana in secrecy by handing the customer the product inside a dead rat to avoid drawing attention. Duke, however, is at kind of a loss, trying to retrieve money from a customer (Steve Little) who continues to buy more and more marijuana without having the money. Another noteworthy character is Renato (Eric Wareheim),a dopey cop who barely gets by when he's left to his own wit. The only cop who seems to have sense is Shirley (Arden Myrin),who works closely with Duke.

To begin with, the film feels like a series of fifteen minute long skits fit for the lineup of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, strung together in a halfway coherent seventy-eight minute film. The spontaneity and unpredictability of this project can be commended as a rather risky effort by Dupieux but the result feels somewhat incomplete and lacking seeing as there really is no continuity in the film whatsoever. Furthermore, the anti-humor schtick is still wonky, once again leaving me at a point of confusion, as I don't know what the humor is trying to be other than as weird as can be because, as far as I can tell, the entire movement doesn't seem to know what it wants to be.

Wrong Cops, however, is entertaining, albeit disjointed. Aside from the style of humor and situational weirdness that was clearly present in Wrong, the same goes for the easy-on-the-eyes, washed out cinematography, whose color-scheme consists of faded yellow, sky blue, and plain white to make for an always beautiful look. Quentin Dupieux is easily one of the damnedest new filmmakers, and I technically haven't really liked one of his films yet, but his style, efforts to blend contemporary surrealism with comedy, along with persistency into throwing characters and plots together for "no reason" begs to be explored, for it seems genuinely fresh and unique in an age where so much isn't.
