CaptainCeltic First of, this movie was alright and even hilarious at times...for the first 10 minutes. After that, this movie sunk faster than the Titanic.I'm not sure what the creators of this movie were smoking that made them think it was an action or crime movie, and the only crime was that this movie cost me $0 but cost me 20 minutes of my life. Yes, I stopped watching it. That is the proof of a good movie. I was not paying a dime to see it, and I stopped watching it. I would rather watch a squirrel scratch its back than have finished this movie. The only funny part of this movie was watching Earl Montgomery (Martin Lawrence) was doing the police training exercise and when Earl called officer Hank Rafferty (Steve Zahn) a Nazi, and I'm white. Besides that, nothing much for me. To each their own I guess, and this gets thrown into the same dumpster as Waynes World.

DoctorRabbit This movie was so awful I couldn't even finish it. It's a bad buddy cop comedy that relies on unfunny race jokes for the whole film and doesn't attempt to do anything else. It's unfunny, boring, and racist to both whites and blacks, and i'm not one who is easily offended. I actually like Martin Lawrence and I will admit that he had one funny scene a few minutes into the film, but his character quickly becomes obnoxious, bigoted, and annoying that I couldn't stand him. Whats even worse is that the film trys to portray him as a good guy and ask us to root for him despite making his character look look like a total bigot. Steve Zahn does an awful job here and is neither funny or likable. It's no wonder the only work he gets now is starring in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid films. This is a cheap looking awful action comedy that shouldn't be viewed by any means.

fabrizzo what most of them said are right.that black wannabe was a racist pig.he acted like blacks have every right of way and whites were second rate citizens to be mocked at and maligned at his whims.at the end no redress was given to the cop wrongfully put in jail nor punishment met to the black or judge who threw him in jail.he who did so much wrong was made to look like the hero,just like the anime zero no tsukaima where the horrendous female lead who took pleasure in abusing boys especially her boyfriend was made like the heroine when shes probably the worst villianess ever. this show has made blacks look like they are anti-all other races except themselves,and America being a black biased nation.lawrence's remark of the white cop being naxist,shouldve been better reserved for himself.

SilverCentri2009 National Security is about two guys, a ex police officer (Zahn) convicted of beating up a black guy, and the same black guy (Lawrence)who is dying to become a cop, are forced to work together as security officers to find the killer of the ex cop's partner.Seems like a good plot right? Wrong.The film starts out as any average action film of the 2000s, boring intro to the characters who are acting on patrol, they come across suspicious activity, than they chase the suspects than bang, partner gets killed by shotgun wound and other partner goes through a very flat dramatic grief. Partner wants revenge so he goes out to find who killed his partner. Comes across police academy failure who locked his keys in the car and let the widow slightly open, which looks like suspicious activity to cop. Cop pulls over asks the black man what he is doing, black man, angry at white cop, scorns him, cop gets angry and decides to detain scornful black guy. A bee, yes,a BUMBLE bee comes along and the cop gets scared of it and tries to whack it with his knight stick. Black man allergic to the bee starts panicking and yells for help. a family videotaping a family moment are near by and record what looks like to be a white cop beating a black man. Tape becomes widespread, black community up in arms, cop is fired and taken to court with a all black jury, judge, and prosecutors. Gets sentenced to six months in prison. stays in solitary to avoid being shanked by the black inmates. Gets out, becomes security guard and partners with, you've guessed it, the black man accusing him of the beating. They hate each other than next ting they're best friends and save the day! Black guy gets no punishment for lying about the beating.When they were writing this, did the producers think they were making a lethal weapon or rush hour film? I hope not because this was downright embarrassing. and not to mention the elements of race they threw in with the boot. even though I'm not white myself, I did feel angry at the"beating" scenes. What angered me the most was Lawrence character got away with it. Its as if they were mocking all white people (nd black people too) that a white cop cant politely ask a black man who is doing something suspicious any questions because that would be racial profiling and the cop could get sued for beating the guy. I literally wanted to jump in the screen and call everyone in the film a race baiting sissy. This wasn't an action film, just a mockery of racial tensions disguised as one. It was as if every black character in the movie was some obnoxious self righteous asshole which really does not do any good for that minority in a still racially intensified period in our history. Aside from bad boys, I never liked Lawrence because of his obnoxious behavior and insensitive mood swings that are supposed to be taken as funny. I felt so lad to see Steve zahn punch that moron. speaking f which, Zahn as actually the only one who pulled off his character as the angry guy, but then again I guess that was really him because he must have not liked being the mocked white guy who didn't do anything wrong. but had to be because no one will put him in any real films. The rest of the acting was average but the plot sucks and was predictable.It makes me feel superb to know this film plain out failed at the box office, and deserved it. Of Lawrence, this couldn't get nay lower for him, but Zahn deserves better than this.
