short on subtlety but high on farce
12 September 2012
send-up of popular TV-reality show COPS - Reno 911 is a cult hit series on cable and now adapted into full motion picture.

Set in (where else but) Reno, Nevada, the bumbling law enforcers are 'invited' to national police convention in Miami Beach; inadvertently becomes the only cops available to patrol the city after a bio-terrorism attack results in local police quarantined in the convention hotel.

The Miami town will never be the same again with these incompetents running the show.

Entertaining mockumentary is short on subtlety but high on farce.

Wonderful comic montage in the seedy motel parodies Hitchcock's' Rear Window. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson in a funny cameo and Paul Rudd takes a leaf from Al Pacino's Scarface as Ethan the Drug Lord.
