1 1/2 Stars
A blown opportunity from director Kevin Smith, who isn’t able to squeeze laughs from the pairing of stars Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan. The film starts out promisingly with a vintage Beastie Boys cut over a slow motion shot of the leads walking toward camera. Leading to an interrogation sequence that is unlike any you’ve seen before. Morgan is a first class clown, and he’s able to provide a few chuckles along the way. Yet the film moves in ebbs and flows. The central plot device revolves around a valuable Baseball card that is going to pay for Willis’s daughter’s wedding. It’s not a great idea, but it’s original. The whole film is supposed to be a throwback to 80’s action comedies like Lethal Weapon or Tango&Cash, however it’s not really ever funny or particularly thrilling. Willis gives one of the dullest performances of his career as the straight man.
