Being a fan of James Woods, I rented this looking for a nice, easy watch. As I always do, I checked out the trailer on the DVD before I watched it, and it instantly lowered my expectations. It really did the film no favours. I was about to send it straight back, but decided to give it a try. Thank God I did.

Starting a bit slow, the film finally starts to settle in and it's great. Who cares if it's just another odd couple cop movie. If it keeps you entertained, that's the main thing.

The serial killer bad guy, however, known as the Party Crasher, is not a good thing. the actor is terrible, and the dialogue usually results into him just bursting out laughing. Sure, you hate him. But, it's not for the right reasons.
