When Boston cop Nick (Ryan Reynolds) gets killed by his partner Hayes (Kevin Bacon) on a drug raid he is suddenly recruited by the R.I.P.D to protect those same streets against an evil plot of the undead. While working with his new R.I.P.D. partner Roy (Jeff Bridges) he discovers that the chaos may hit very close to home.
This movie reminded me quite a bit of the Men In Black trilogy, but with a unique new twist. The special effects were very good. If you like science fiction this movie is a fun watch.
