This is the standard cop thang, down to every plot detail; the film's basically a spoof played dead straight by the cast.

This is going to go down as one of the lesser films in the portfolios of Shelton, Ford, and most everyone else involved.

My guess is Shelton and fellow writer Robert Souza borrowed an idea from TV's improvisational 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?'

Harrison Ford ainda sabe fazer graça. Pena que o diretor Ron Shelton e o roteiro não saibam.

Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett, are given enough character quirks to made this trip in cliché-ville more enjoyable than most.
