  Eddie! Eddie! Eddie! why don't you make hard ass flicks like this anymore!!!!? alas poor Eddie, thou maketh such crapeth these days. The last adult action flick from Mr Murphy before he plunged into the 'children's TV' period of his dwindling career, its not a stunning action film but its certainly a pretty good attempt and much better than 'Beverly Hills Cop 2/3'. The thing that hits you first about this film is it looks sharp, the opening credits are damn nice and Murphy looks his coolest since 'Beverly Hills', its a slow builder for sure but with Wincott as the baddie with his raspy devilish voice it keeps you glued to the screen. Another good impression maker is the excellent action stunts, most noteably a great car and tram chase with multiple wrecks which all look realistic, some good tense stand offs and none of it being watered down, a good step for Murphy although at times he doesn't quite nail the gritty realistic acting thing.

  A classic good time. A wildly entertaining and outrageous action-packed thriller. A fresh, smart, very funny and explosively entertaining movie. One of the first flicks since Lethal Weapon and 48 Hours that balances seriousness and humor perfectly. Director, Thomas Carter crafts a fantastic and enjoyable movie with fast-paced dialogue and awesome action. Eddie Murphy is at his best, he's never been better or funnier. It works well as a cat and mouse thriller and action-packed buddy movie.

• Anthony L

  
  Not very good at all, Murphy?s action/comedy routine is tired and his efforts to make his character more ?street? by swearing every five seconds doesn?t help.

• Roy G

  
  The big action scenes are cleverly staged and Eddie Murphy is back on his game again.

  underrated. michael rapaport was good and this was a decent eddie flick.

• Candy R

  
  Doesn't he get tired playing a cop?

  A typical dim-witted action movie that is actually much better than you'd think, especially considering the starring role is filled by Murphy who surely hasn't made a decent live action film since Beverly Hills Cop. The set pieces are well done, particularly a thrilling chase sequence involving a tram, and Michael Wincott is the best psychotic villain this side of Gary Oldman. Brainless but fun.

• Jason S

  
  He was really trying to bring back the whole Beverly Hills Cop thing with this one and it just didn't fly.

• Michael G

  
  I remember this being a lot better than I thought it would be. Haven't seen it in a while though.

• Joseph E

  
  Not quite Axel foley, but definetly Eddie Murphy.

• Kevin L
