Plot:
Steven Seagal needed a new approach to his standard head-busting heroics, so he teamed up with Keenen Ivory Wayans for this routine 1996 action flick. This time stone-faced Steve plays Los Angeles hom...( read more

MCT:August 19, 2008a long wait to see Seagal back in form but he did it with this film. Wayans supplies the humour and it a good team.
-
MCT:June 20, 2008Jack Cole and Jim Campbell are cops and partners. They are on a killers trail but keep getting into each others way.It's a wonderful ride but a little gorey at times a must see for everyone.
Stars Steven Seagal and Keenen Ivory Wayans. -
MCT:April 25, 2008OMG him teamed up with Keenen Ivory Wayans in this they both kicked ass here,beings that this was one of his earlier movies ,it is steven seagal doing what he does best
-
MCT:April 20, 2008A bit darker than most buddy-cop genre films, but the teaming of Seagal and Wayans does work in many ways. The movie moves along too fast at times and a bit slower at others, but this was the last truly halfway-decent film Seagal made (with the exception of Into The Sun). It's not Rush Hour, true, but thank God it's not becuase if Wayans was even half as annoying (and unfunny) as Chris Tucker, then I would've thrown this DVD into the fireplace before the classroom scene.

MCT:February 12, 2008Only Steven Seagal could play the lead. Very unrealistic and the movie feels long but overall not too bad.
-
MCT:February 11, 2008Ok action flick but mostly I thought alot of scence were very funny. Worth watching. Bit gory but at least there is a half decent story in it rather than the usual rubbish movie from him.

Steven Seagal is... Jack Cole
It's a bit of a hybrid this one, part dark serial killer movie with a nod to the likes of Manhunter and Seven (though nowhere near as good as either) but mostly your run-of-the-mill budy cop action movie, with plenty of shoot-outs and ass-whuppin's courtesy of our man, Steve. There's also the obligatory exploding cars and even the most flammable television set ever, that manages to blow up an apartment when it gets knocked over in a fight - sheesh, American build quality eh? It's not what it used to be...
In all honesty, this is a watchable hour and half but it's not going to change your world and if you're not a Seagal fan by now, you're unlikely to be swayed by this effort. Perhaps a two and a half to two and three quarter star movie if I'm honest, but I'm gonna give it three for a good deer penis sucking joke and some truly outlandish attire that's sported by Mr Seagal.
FSBCR: 5/5 - three (count 'em!) highly decorative jackets - fantastic! -

Ok action flick but mostly I thought alot of scence were very funny. I suppose it has to be having the head Wayans in it. Steve & Keenan another great combination. Worth watching

Some amazing HHAAA gotta-rewind that stunt scenes, and the best credit card knife ive ever seen (the only one!)

Funny and adventurous! These two characters work so well together it keeps the movie interesting until the end.

Seagal has had some quite good movies and some awfully terrible ones. This one I believe is one of the better ones, combining the action man's trademark fighting skills with the comedic talents of his partner played by Wayans. Having said that, though, when the baddie goes flying through a window getting impaled on a metal fence you can easily see that it's made of rubber!

In which other movie can you watch Seagal cut open a boob to find out a woman's name? He still fights like a fag, though.
-
MCT:May 28, 2007not even "in living color" headmaster Keenen Ivory Wayans can help get Seagal out of the pit of obscurity that the ponytailed one has gotten himself stuck in....
-
MCT:April 3, 2007
ah the beginning of the conspicuous belly hiding overcoat days for smuggles. also the beginning of the teaming with black/asian guy to look cooler days. just as fun as the earlier seagal films, just in a completely different way.

Much more action thriller than all out action - would make a good decent THRILLER with a story line like this - but its a Seagal flick and thats the way it is. The plot is kinda twisted but it has some good polish to it - it can be used for a good cop thriller with a top notch cast and director and you might get something pretty good. But then again, Seagal is pretty good, at the midway of his hollywood fame, before he went B grade.
Seagal and Wayans (theres a million wayans in the industry!) play two cops on the trail of a serial killer, but along they way, they get caught up in a smuggling operation with big power brokers and and hefty bad guys. So then comes the hefty Seagal and hefty violence - butt kicking at its best.
i never really got Seagal's fashion sense, and this movie is no exception. His clothes are very....... trendy, which kinda offest the whle movie - then throw in his buddhist beads for some spiritual enlightenment..... right...... but its cool. All that is made up for with his nifty credit card knife and plenty more to cover the little dodgy things in the flick. :-)

Keenan Ivory Wayans is a surprisingly good action/comedy hero/sidekick - he's funny, cool, and makes the action scenes look good. Unfortunately, Steven Seagal is the star. He plays off of Wayans well (well, more so the other way around, but nonetheless...), but is otherwise dull and doing exactly the same thing he's done his whole career, and without the charisma he showed in his early films. There are a couple of good action scenes, but they're mostly blah. And the plot is completely forgettable. There are a few funny moments in there, but it's mostly worthless.

I really enjoyed this movie. Steven Seagal is great in it and the story for once is not too bad. The plot is a bit over the top should have kept it at just one bad guy. Keenen Ivory Wayans is just ok nothing more but on the whole a good film. Worth a watch and even a cheap buy.
-
MCT:January 20, 2007Crap. And then after the crap was all done, there was more crap to back up the first crap. It should have been retitled Hard To Watch.

Poor effort, Steven Seagal forget trying to punch & kick you just make youself look stupid. You would do better singing the blues.
-
MCT:October 19, 2006
I think I've seen this. However there are SO many steven seagal movies that are pretty much the same movie I just can't tell one from the other.

Big fan, loved it, fan of the Wayans too. If you think this guy can't do what he does in real life, think again.
