elshikh4 10 years ago I watched it. And it's clear that ever since it provokes the hell out of me continually; Bladwin's face hunts me in the nightmares, fear out of meeting it again while changing the channels, ..etc. I didn't have any intension to write a full review about it. Maybe because it doesn't worth it? Maybe I don't want to go through the horror once again ? Though, something pushed me to finally do it. Simply I discovered lately that I, unintentionally, handled it 3 times already (as you see the spirit of revenge is alive and eager !). It holds the record for being in 3 shame lists I edited before (they are all published in the IMDb's pages). You can find it in my lists of "1996's Top 10 Worst Comedies", "The Worst 10 Buddy-Movies" and "The Silliest 10 Buddies in Buddy-Movies" (guess who ?!). As you see all what I was trying to do is just warning my fellow humans who didn't watch it yet.It'll make you ask and ask : Is it a remake of (The Defiant Ones) ? Laurence Fishburne in a comic scenes ?!, Stephen Baldwin in a movie ?!!! I'll never forget a line was said by one of the evil characters while menacing someone "I'll make you wear your ass as a hat !" what was that anyway ??! Is it a hint about the makers of it as people think with their asses ?!I can't settle is it a crime action comedy, or a crime of action and comedy ?! It is B-grade B-movie with noisy episodes, TV-ish persona and unfunny everything. There are many references to many movies but it isn't a spoof or a respectable tribute inasmuch as a bad spoof of itself and shameful tribute. So it's poor man's The Defiant Ones, poor man's Lethal Weapon, and poor is the man who sat to watch it ! There is a big surprise about Fishburne's character at the very end, but you know what? The dumbness of the whole thing would force you to not buy it, or maybe to laugh at it ! Stephen Bladwin?? I think that they picked him for just being so white in front of Laurence Fishburne ! Now this is the way how Not to deliver comedy. Watching him trying to be comic will make you lose your temper. It is nice to act like a fool, giving a laugh out of that. But awfully Bladwin looks like a real fool ! And the interplay between him and Fishburne ?? Well, you can say that Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde had better chance ! Originally, who the hell might think that Bladwin can do comedy (or else) ?Fishburne himself looked like something cooked hastily in boiling water, let's say looked like the movie itself (How Horrible !). He was acting uninterested, being not familiar with this kind of Hollywood's nonsense yet, or refusing it? Anyway, I hated whatever he delivered so much. He seemed provocative to the ultimate degree with a dull, rather dead, face all the time. So the true ridiculousness of the 2 leads plus the no-chemistry between them destroyed any possible chance for this movie to hit even the mark of "watchable". Speaking about actors, I think that I glimpsed accidentally Salma Hayic in here. She was sweet and cute as usual. Hmmm, I believe that in hard times we just dream of our dear ones ! Yes, I keep telling myself that she was a dream since my mind can't stand the possibility of "if she was really there", otherwise WHY THEY DIDN'T USE HER BETTER ???!!!In another planet that could have been funny and entertaining, with box office success and maybe Part 2! It's nothing but another cinematic interpretation of popcorn. It was only tasteless popcorn this time. The thing is it wanted to be fun, but obviously their makers weren't funny enough. To be fair, it can be so amusing yet for anyone wants to experience what the silly buddy-action comedy is all about. Still there is one great thing about it; the fact that Stephen Bladwin didn't return afterwards to be in any comic action again. Ahhh, a few things in this life can be right, soooo right ! If, after all of that, you're intent on watching it.. Then be aware, because I'm sure...you'd witness the weirdest thing, when you feel during all the viewing that you're wearing you're a** as a hat !

johnnysure1 Will Patton is one of our finest actors, having blessed the screen with a variety of memorable characters. Unfortunately, most of his performances seem to be in movies like this: generic action films which nobody has any need to remember. Sure, he gets to show up in great movies (NO WAY OUT), good movies (REMEMBER THE TITANS), and popular movies (ARMAGEDDON), but the man is a working actor who ain't embraced by the masses, so he also has to make movies like this. Not that this is a painfully bad movie... it's just so darn generic. And the testament to the man's performance is that there is nothing on paper that should make this a particularly great role. But darn it if he isn't the moral center of the movie. If you don't know who this guy is, you can skip the movie with a clear conscience. But if you are a fan of the man, this performance is one of his best.

jbryanc Mindless chasing and shooting. This one leaves plenty of your mind unoccupied to wonder such things as: How can a guy shoot a three-quarter inch rope with a handgun and miss everything with a shotgun? Why is RuPaul in this movie for 15 seconds? Would the feds really honour a verbal agreement to let you off after you've shot up a lot of folks and a lot of Atlanta? Could a limo really keep up with a Ducatti? Is it true that all you've got to do to get a semi out of your way is to lean on the horn?

CavemanGSz I've seen comment about this film putting it down. I disagree. The film is built on good actors and good directorship. I agree that the film has weak spots in the script, but HEY what action film doesn't. I don't think I'll put the film in the TOP 10, but don't forget that there is only place for ten films in the TOP 10.The plot isn't the smartest one, or a reliable one but it's fun, and actually has some shining smart points.If you like action movies in general, you'll like this one for sure.!!Rate: 8 of 10
