Nick (Ryan Reynolds) is a cop with a touch of dishonesty. When he is killed he discovers that there is a place for him that's neither heaven or hell -- the R.I.P.D. Rest In Peace Department. R.I.P.D. bring down the dead who refuse to move on. It's based on a comic/graphic novel so the audience can expect gun fights, chase scenes and the occasional witty remark.
In the afterlife, Nick is partnered with an old-timer who affects an almost wild-west look (Jeff Bridges). Together the two of them are a variation of the usual buddy cop film, except this has more special effects.
Men in Black did it better, however R.I.P.D. is well-paced and holds the audience's interest throughout.
