  I love Bruce Willis but why did I waste my life watching this terrible movie.

  A ridiculously cool buddy action movie that almost makes it to Lethal Weapon status. This is way more comedy based, but it has enough action to go around as well. Bruce Willis is perfect in these types of roles, it doesn't even seem like he has to try in order to nail the character. While Damon Wayans isn't perfect, he's a lot better than other potential co-stars. Tony Scott and Shane Black know how to give you an action extravaganza and this is certainly no exception.

  I think it is somewhat unfair to just pass this off as another dumb fun shoot em' up. It's script is brilliant, Shane Black is a brilliant writer too, and this film is very funny but it certainly doesn't lack the all important occasional (and appropriate) exploding head here and there, the balance is perfect. A real dark comedy posing as an action film and Lots of good fun, my favourite Tony Scott along side True Romance.

  Say what you will about Tony Scott. The man gets his hands on some high octane material. This time around it's just as funny as it is action-driven. Well worth your time.

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

  Say what you will about these "buddy movies" from the 90's, but they have a likability to them that is pretty rare in the action genre these days. Granted that this is just another brick in the wall among films like the Rush Hour and Lethal Weapon series, but it's one that undeniably entertains in both its action and humor. And with lines like "This is the '90s. You don't just go around punching people. You have to say something cool first", it's impossible not to love the style of writing they had back when this was made. I don't know about the rest of you, but I kind of miss it :-)

  Good action flick and the two guys work well together on screen.

  Ain't life a bitch?

  An 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 buddy… More
  An 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 buddy team. A awsome adreniline pumping rush that wont quit for a minute. Fast paced and totally fun. A great entertainment ride.

  A bad ass movie with a lot of one-liners. Not bad for a shoot-em-up movie

  Cool Old School ^_^

  I remember everyone going nuts over this movie. I also remember being really bored by it.

• Dean !

  
  A pretty good action film as a cop and an ex American footballer team up to investigate a couple of strange deaths.

  Milo: You think you are so fucking cool, don't you? You think you are so fucking cool. But just once, I would like to hear you scream in pain... Joe Hallenbeck: Play some rap music. Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans star in a big and loud R rated action movie from Tony Scott,… More
  Milo: You think you are so fucking cool, don't you? You think you are so fucking cool. But just once, I would like to hear you scream in pain... Joe Hallenbeck: Play some rap music. Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans star in a big and loud R rated action movie from Tony Scott, written by Buddy Movie King Screenwriter Shane Black. In this movie, everyone is a different degree of asshole, even Willis' 13 year old daughter. This basically means that the general attitude gives everyone the chance to spout some of the best one-liners in a 90s action movie. Joe Hallenbeck: Now what are you doing? Jimmy Dix: I'm drawing them a picture. Joe Hallenbeck: What's that? Jimmy Dix: It's a bomb. Joe Hallenbeck: It doesn't look like a bomb, it looks like an apple with lines coming out of it. What are they gonna say, "don't open the briefcase, it's full of fresh fruit"? Jimmy Dix: Do you want to draw the damn thing? The plot is fairly straight forward, Willis is a deadbeat P.I. assigned to a case, blah blah blah, Damon Wayans girlfriend gets killed, blah blah blah, they team up, blah blah blah, corruption, action. Darian: I wanna know what's going on! Jimmy Dix: Watch CNN. Now get out of the car. What helps is the R rating, where these characters can swear a lot and have some viscious gun fights, and that's what I call entertainment. (Car Explodes) Jimmy Dix: Was that C-4!?! Joe Hallenbeck: Either that, or a hell of a factory recall.

  Over-the top violence, tons of profanity, Bruce Willis- What's not to like?

  Yeah.... another over the top, highly violent flick of the mullet and glitter generation. I dont know about anyone else, but Bruce Willis has a knack for pulling off the smart ass tough and very destructive character roles with ease such as the famous John McClane, and this os noe exception - aside from the fact they make him an ex-secret service agent with a death wish and more issues then LA Confidential - and no surprise - more violent, rude, mean and more slick liners which he has no problems pulling off, then killing the bad guy in the next second. Damon Wayans is a nusiance in this, though in retrospect, I dont think they could have got anyone else to pull off the role. Anywayz, a private detective and shamed quarterback team up to find a murderer but instead wind up as targets for some very nasty people with big businesses and guns. Throw in a cheating wife, a foul-mouthed 13 year old (yep, its Bruce's kid and wife) and Halle Berry doing a pole dance and yeah this movie gets action thriller fans interested. But im glad Tony Scott and Shane Black was behind the helm or this movie would have gone to the dogs. This movie was kinda warming Bruce up for later roles, such as the infamous Die Hard with a Vengeance and this movie was a good springboard to it. The bad guys are bland - they all die of course but they have nothing against Willis who is much more nastier and brutal than his foes. Damon Wayans is better off doing his comedies but both guys on screen make an okay partnership - not exactly Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte in 48 Hours but it comes close. Well - action, brutality, guns, bombs, half-naked chicks, half naked Halle Berry, liners with every single swear word in the Macquarie dictionary...... yep, another wham bam thank you maam' flick - but hey, its the late 80's and early 90s!! This was one of the last movies of its kind.... and one of the better ones.

  pretty good action flick

• xGary X

  
  Unpleasant testosterone fuelled machismo-fest in which Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans compare wisecracks and dumb thuggery. Imagine Lethal Weapon with all vestiges of charm or subtlety removed.

• Dean M

  
  Wow, what an explosive action of dymanic duo Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans.
