There is another: after this undercover CIA mission partly goes south in a big way as their key CIA Agent in CIA Agent Kevin Pope as undercover Michael Turner, but with a stroke of luck he has an twin brother which they were separated as babies and adopted into different lives Kevin was one of the best in his field whilst his brother Jacob "Jake" Hayes/Mr Hayes [all characters are performed by Chris Rock] is from the street running is only little frowned upon ticket touting business called "Big Tout Tickets." He is approached by a CIA Agent Oakes [Anthony Hopkins] after a little bit of negotiation Mr Hayes accepts this life threatening mission. The pacing of this 116 women film is good as it knows what it is doing and sticks to plan.

I am fully aware that some people are going to take this the wrong way and I don't mean it; with the negative connotations attached to it, but it is what it is and I can't do anything about that.

The fundamental frame of this film is Caucasian CIA Agent, meets wisecracking, intelligent in his own right and hustling African-American from a completely different world to the status and  luxuries of a CIA Agent standard of life [two worlds joining forces for the bigger picture and coming to like and respect one another; that character development between this partnership.]

We have this training montage including comedy where if Mr Hayes doesn't get up on time he gets water thrown on him by CIA Agent Oakes, but don't worry Mr Hayes eventually gets his own back or later on Michael Turner breaks the fourth wall as he looks down the camera to subliminally put across am paraphrasing here; She is hot, so on Rock's face is an uncomfortable look as he is completely out of his depth. He wants to stay faithful to his long-term girlfriend Julie Benson [Kerry Washington.] But he is going to have to somehow avoid Turner's ex-girlfriend  Nicole's [Garcelle Beauvais] affections. As it relates to the action sequences these are solidly good, mostly mixed with comedy woven into them.

Character developments and performances; to begin with they are all good minus these two, because I have already spoken about the character developments I just have to say this here; I have to give high praise to Anthony Hopkins and Chris Rock for their excellent chemistry and consequently without these two this film would have very easily fallen on its face.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; as I have just said the partnership of Anthony Hopkins and Chris Rock make this film, so if you are a fan of one or either of these performers and you haven't seen this film yet, this is one of those films that you could get a take-a-way out and be pleasantly entertained for roughly 2 hours.
