December 7, 2008This film has grown on me over the multiple viewings. It's the direction that threw me off initially. Once I got over it and concentrated on Shane Black's story I dug it.

September 10, 2008A very enjoyable guilty-pleasure macho-actioner that benefits from having a very fun script, and an actuall good buddy chemistry between Willis and Wayans. Very fun villians, Halle Berry gets killed and Chelsea Field was quind of attractive. Taylor Negron plays one of the funnies...( read more)

November 25, 2007An explosive action-packed thrill machine. Powerful. Gritty. Exciting. Original. Outragiously funny. A tounge in cheek, character driven action flick thats hard to resist. Bruce Willis and Damon Wayne are fantastic. They play each other off perfectly as a great and charasmatic bu...( read more)

August 28, 2007All of your standard stupid action cliches all rolled into one. But still interesting.

November 16, 2009Attempt at a blockbuster which it prolly was 15 years ago. Liked it when it came out but the story seems to have stretched since then. Still another cool Willis in action movie if your a fan

September 28, 2009A bad action flick but fortunately has some funny moments & is fun to watch at times

September 6, 2009Officer : "Is there a problem?"
Crook: "Yes officer, there are too many bullets in this gun!" *BANG!*
Lines like this are littered throughout the film. The whole dialog constist of snappy, witty combacks and one liners from Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans. Lots of violence, blood,...( read more) -
August 25, 2009Bruce Willis can play that down and out character perfect. Having no care in life with that calm nature. Like everything is going to be alright and he will always come out on top. And he does on this movie. Damon Wayans is always good with his improvisional comedic lines. They do...( read more)

July 21, 2009You know, I haven't seen this movie in a couple of years. Just watched it again and it doesn't seem as good as I remembered. Bruce Willis played a quiet version of his standard character (i.e. Die Hard). Some action, not the most interesting story. Damon Wayans (who I don't often...( read more)

January 21, 2007Jeff Shannon is pure 100% asshole who RARELY knows a good movie when he sees it! I haven't seen this movie in nearly a decade & a half, but I remember it fondly. Tell me Mr. Shannon exactly where is the misogyny? Where is the hatred for women? WTF are you talking about!?
Someone once shared an opinion with me that they believe that all sports, and in particularly the NFL, is mob connected. The games are fixed, the mvps don't win the trophys, they are chosen by whoever really controls it all & when you think about it, about why they would do that, it really makes sense.
The NFL is probably the single most popular sport in the world in terms of actual money, meaning that there is more money behind the sport than there is for any other sport anywhere in the world. Who wouldn't want to stick their hand into that cookie jar? Especially the ppl that have always tried to, which is organized crime.
