R.I.P.D.

R.I.P.D. or "Rest in Peace Department" is based on a comic book. Dead cops, rather than spending time in purgatory, spend time in the Rest in Peace Department, preventing dead people from continuing to walk the Earth. Nice concept. Possibly interesting stuff going on, especially with a cast of Jeff Bridges, Ryan Reynolds, Kevin Bacon, and Mary-Louise Parker. But there was an amazing failure of suspension of disbelief, some amazingly foolish mechanisms for separating dead people and live ones, and a really stupid McGuffin. A waste of time, really. I would have been better off spending the time reading the comic.
