R.I.P.D. [2013]

Red director Robert Schwentke adapts Peter M. Lenkov's comic book R.I.P.D. for the big screen with very mixed results.
On one hand, it's got some inventive ideas used sparingly, some good chuckles courtesy of Jeff Bridges & Mary Louise-Parker and some wild action sequences.
On the other hand, it's Men In Black-ish script is transparent and dull, the character interactions are more than forumlaic and some boring action sequences to make up for the wild ones.
It's a pretty mixed bag of shit and fun which tests your patience like a slap in your neighbor's face with a wet fish.

Ryan Reynolds' superpower is that he makes everything shit.

I had no idea. The turd.
If he pops into my head during a Scar Jo fap I'm going to take revenge on you.
