Reviews
A tiresome Sandler-Wayans buddy-buddy crime actioner that needs its staid material to be desperately riddled with bullets.
It's not a great movie, but it is an adequate late summer diversion.
Midnight Run did it best; 48 hours runs a fair second. Bulletproof finishes way back in the pack.
It's incredible how botched the script is. Not only are the twists predictable and tired, they also don't make any sense.
A few stray laughs here and there, but both comedians have done a whole lot better. And to waste Linda Fiorentino is just a sin.
