Review Time: this film is really, really slow at the beginning stages.

Culture clash: usually I would leave this element alone, but it is one of those occasions where it is there and I cannot kind of just miss it out, just for the record I may have considered missing out this element from this review if it was subtle, you know something that was a theme but not as noticeable as this is.

Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte: the first thing I want to say is this; this project needs Murphy on screen, because without him this film has absolutely no fundamental core [I know that sounds strange,] but it seriously just drifts from scene to scene and so on. Now when Murphy is on screen the fundamental core is better, because on one hand you have Murphy with his character developments of [always communicating something or pulling something -- for an example stealing things or at the very least attempting to steal things.] But on the other hand we have Nolte with his character developments of basically, someone that is very experienced with dealing with criminals and whilst Murphy is trying to be quick talking, comical from time to time, it is Nolte's job within this partnership to move the film on when it is appropriate to do so.

Action sequences: there are many weapons being used [mainly guns] and there are other bits and pieces.

Background music: there is background music being used in this project sometimes it is really noticeable and sometimes it isn't there or I think it's not there.

This film receives: 62% approval, if you haven't seen this film yet, it may be worth a look. But I wouldn't expect too much, yes the partnership of Murphy and Nolte's is good, but everything else is okay-ish to poor.
