And Now For Some T and A (Tedium and Anger)

Today's Movie Minute answers the important question of what happens when you put samurai with cop and call it COP SAMURAI. *checks title* I mean, SAMURAI COP.

"Hey! You got samurai in my cop!

You got cop in my samurai...!

Yuck, you got it in my hair too!"

SAMURAI COP was ahead of its time. As well as behind it, and under it. Our hero, touchingly, is a developmentally-challenged man who just wants to be accepted as one of the normal samurais.

"Me like gun not sword ha ha!"

He teams up with a Shaft motherfucker, who has developmental challenges of his own.

"They serving taters in the cafeteria for lunch? I LOVE TATERS!"

Their boss is also a man who struggles with a disability: unfunny comedy.

 "Wapner at five?"

Together, they have a crime to solve. Or corruption to root out. Or bananas to buy. It's all very tense. And richly imagined.

"Are you hiding prescription medications in your hair?" 

They meet a femme fatale whose boyfriend is Aslan, the good lion.

"Who wants to help me pick up poop? Really big poop?"

But our samurai cop has more than just women on his mind. He's concerned about our broken health care system and what can be done about it with a nurse.

"Hi I'm Corky! Me like grill cheese ha hah!" 

Meanwhile the bad guy refuses to take acting classes and dupes a lady with developmental challenges into engaging in some breathplay with him.

 "Okay, suck in, and I exhale. Mmm, yeah. 

Now, blow. Okay... Wait. Is this how the sex works?"

It all leads to a tense showdown where two subnormals try to quickly finish their fight choreography before the dude rancher finds out.

"Jesus, your face is really red. Maybe have it checked out?"

In the end, the good guy wins (a juice box) and we all go home satisfied, having learned more about disability rights and ability wrongs.

"Get it off me! Get it off! Bad ladybug!!"

I give this movie three faces!

                           "Huh?"                 "Whizzit?"            "Aw yeah."
