| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzAbout as much fun as having your car stolen. |
| User ReviewRay CGreat combination, Forrest Whittaker is fantastic in this. |
| User ReviewJennifer RI like Anthony Edwards and Forest Whitalker and the movie was okay |
| User ReviewAllan COne of those mediocre flicks that used to be on TV mid-day on Sundays that for some reason I would always watch. |
| User ReviewTom HI would never have believed, the unlikely duo of Anthony Edwards (Revenge of the Nerds) and Forrest Whitaker (Bloodsport/Street Kings), would have worked. Along with an excellent supporting cast, comprised of some framiliar faces, Downtown, was able to entertain me from start to finish. |
| User ReviewJason DThis is a great action film with some good humor, almost like Lethal Weapon. Anthony Edwards and Forest Whitaker star in this film as cops who are partners dealing with currupt businessmen. A movie for all action fans. |
| User ReviewJonas LIt sayd on the cover that this would bee a action, but it was a commedy, and I laughed so... |
| User Reviewp bForest Whitaker is a fav. He can act and direct, a pity he didn't direct this one, it might have been better. |
