This mediocre action comedy sees complete opposites Chris Tucker and Charlie Sheen forced to rely on each other when the former, a small-time crook, crosses a gang of jewel thieves. Sheen is a TV reporter who sees the unfolding story as a way to save his ailing career. Endless explosions, tedious car chases and brainless shoot-outs punctuate a drearily crass plot whose appeal wholly depends on one's reaction to helium-voiced comedian Tucker. If you like him, you'll like this. If you don't — well, there's always Heather Locklear, playing Sheen's wife-to-be.

"...Tucker, whose talent and persona ranges hilariously between Eddie Murphy and Little Richard, clearly knows how to showcase himself and make others, Sheen in particular, look good, too..."

Off-The-Cuff Humour
You get two of the best actors in the world and put them in two totally oposite rolls, Charlie Sheen as a news reporter living the high life, he is constantly showed up by comedy genious Chris Tucker who is a car wash attendant who deals stolen goods out the back.
This is one film not to miss -

[Highly rated reviewer]
hilarious
this is chris tucker doing what he does best, no nonesense comedy that at times brings tears to your eyes. this film is so raw but thats what makes it so good. actually been waiting to see this for quite some time and suffice to say i wasnt disappointed. thought charlie sheen was also excellent throughout. so dry as always but thats what makes his charactes so likeable. loved every minute of this, didnt take itself too seriously and thought that worked very well.
