Cult film movie director Quentin Dupieux, also better known as Mr Oizo has finished his latest film project dubbed ‘Wrong Cops’. The French Ed Banger signed artist screen-wrote and directed two movies prior titled " target="_blank">Steak and " target="_blank">Rubber respectively. The full length movie premiere of ‘Bad Cop’ was done at Locarno film festival in Switzerland after shorts of the movie were revealed at Cannes and Sundance.

So what is the plot of this movie?

Set in a contemporary L.A. style crime free city, ‘Wrong Cops’ tells the left of centre story of two police officers played by Mark Burnham and Eric Wareheim bored to death and filling their days selling drugs, blackmailing former porn stars and using their guns to get girls to undress.

Any big name appearances?

Mr Oizo’s latest single ‘Solid’ that features Marilyn Manson explains the former rock stars appearance as a shy, baseball cap-wearing teenager, who supposedly tries to sneak a peak at a cop’s junk as his role. Also Eric Wareheim from Tim and Eric is big too!

What are the reviews so far?

With it only being screened once, movie critic Boyd van Hoeij labeled it a ‘Lady Gaga-meets-Village People act’. Hoeij noted it ‘desperately piles on supposedly funny insults addressed at women, gays, transsexuals, disabled people and practically all other minorities except for untalented hack directors’. His review is hilariously negative which kind of makes me want to see it more.
