Earl and Hank have only one thing in common: they're both L.A.P.D. rejects. One just got kicked out, the other can't even get in. After confronting each other on opposite sides of the law during a traffic stop that escalates out of control, these two luckless individuals end up partnered as lowly security guards. Despite being damned to the lowest rung of the law enforcement ladder, Earl and Hank uncover a sophisticated smuggling operation led by Nash and his band of thugs. When Earl and Hank get their hands on some hot property, they go on the run from, first the bad guys, then the L.A.P.D.--led by Lt. Washington and Detective McDuff. What these two unlikely partners do to law enforcement is a crime, but they just might save the day. That is, if they don't kill each other first.

| KBTV-NBC (Beaumont, TX)Danny MintonThis is the most racist film I have seen since the last Martin movie. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA slapsticky buddy action-comedy so bad that it's hard to decide who's dumber: the two guards at the center of things or the filmmakers who've put them there. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Ray ConlogueEntertaining and well done. Without losing its comic rhythm for a moment, it is also a withering spoof of black victimism and the corrupting effect of racial solidarity on the American legal system. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisThe film is profane. But who knew police brutality could play as a laughing matter? |
| Houston ChronicleEric HarrisonIts acrimonious message lies in the way it depicts black oversensitivity and an atmosphere of political correctness as the only obstacles to harmony. |
| San Jose Mercury NewsGlenn LovellIt's meant to wear down and demoralize critics who are about to launch into a whole new year of worthless buddy comedies. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordI'll give ten bucks to the first gypsy willing to curse anyone even suggesting a sequel. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonThe plot settles quickly into a conventional buddy movie framework. |
| Planet Sick-BoyJon PopickBlack America's answer to Birth of a Nation. Security is probably the most racist film I've ever seen. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldIt's only a notch above the routine, and it obeys all the conventions of its tired formula, but it also tones the anarchy with a serious edge and it works a surprisingly effective vein of race-relations satire. |
