Fast talking Tucker is the star in this fast paced comedy that despite doing badly upon release and being a rather bog standard action flick, I quite like it.
Nothing new in the slightest with more of resemblance to 'Lethal Weapon' and 'Beverly Hills Cop' than anything, but the ... read more -

One of my favorite movies of all time. Yeah, it's not great, but Chris Tucker delivers some of the funniest lines I've heard.
Great movie for a mindless comedy with some decent action scenes. -

Good action-comedies is a rare thing to come by these days. But during the 90's they came in the plenty, and this is an excellent example of that. Chris Tucker (being as loud-mouthed as he is) isn't always easy on the ears, but he's still a great and really funny actor, and alway... read more

Chris Tucker and Charlie Sheen in their prime. Tucker was hilarious and with this movie he seperated himself from the rest of his peers.

This is so funny, it may be one of those Chris Tucker action/comedy movies, but this is a lot of fun and very entertaining!
Critic Reviews
Tucker's manic energy is the only thing keeping the audience from dozing off like the rest of the cast. Full Review
Mildly funny prototype for Ratners later Rush Hour franchise
...as does Chris Tucker. Incessantly.
Mainly a showcase for the talented Tucker, and unfortunately doesn't add up to much else. Full Review
