Harrison Ford is back along with Josh Hartnett in this comedic action movie about two cops with odd second lives caught in a deep crime scene.

There are a lot of good things about this movie. I liked Harrison Ford the best, he really shows why he is such a superstar with his presence. There is also a lot of action and comedy throughout.

The problem here is that a lot of it has been done already (Lethal Weapon series). It also seems that there is a lot of character development that don`t really matter in the end, it seems more like filler than something pertinent to the story, which is really just an extended NYPD Blue episode but in L.A. I also couldn't help but notice that it didn't do all that well at the Box Office. This isn't the kind of movie you put out in June. It should have been reserved for a spring or fall release and watch it go nuimber 1 in the first week. But that's just me.

In the end, there is nothing really wrong with the movie, just nothing really great either. It's your call

In short:
Comedy: Some funny scenes
Violence/language: Lots of chases and action, not much language
Nudity/sex: Some sex scenes, though no nudity
High Points: Ford and Hartnett good, fun
Low Points: Been done already, pretty average on every level

Rating: B-
