Critic Reviews

  • Michael Dequina, TheMovieReport.com

    Tucker's manic energy is the only thing keeping the audience from dozing off like the rest of the cast.

  • Luke Y. Thompson, New Times

    Mildly funny prototype for Ratners later Rush Hour franchise

  • Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com

    ...as does Chris Tucker. Incessantly.

  • James Sanford, Kalamazoo Gazette

    serves up a crude blend of flip comedy and jarring violence... Tucker squeals loud and long. Here's hoping he gets the Ned Beatty part when 'Deliverance' is finally remade.

    James Russell: I want some answers! Franklin Hatchett: Hey man, me and Guy just down here, checkin' out some fly rides, and mackin' some hos and chillin'. James Russell: Imagine that. It's like a G-Dog on a fly tip. Flossin' wit da posse. Cuttin' in da… More

  • Al S


    An endlessly hilarious and gut-busting action-comedy that you will head over heels laugh for the entire ride. Delivering a full-clip of explosive action. A wild and exhilerating classic. Chris Tucker has such energy not seen since Eddie Murphey. Tucker and Sheen play each other off… More
