I have to say I love this movie. From start to finish I do not find any parts boring or mediocre.
The relationship between Smith and Lawrence is great, you almost believe that they have not been scripted during some of their little tiffs! It really is a pleasure to watch!
Basically Smith and Lawrence are Detectives in Miami, and are polar opposites to each other. Smith is a rich player while Lawrence is a family man. There is a small case of mistaken identities whereby they have to pretend to be each other in front of a witness (Tea Leoni). This brings much of the comedy value to the movie.
Im not sure if this was intended to be a comedy, there is certainly enough great action sequences to indicate that this was not an essential part, but as the chemistry is so great between the two leads, it is difficult not to laugh at the situations the get themselves into.
The action scenes and effects are stunning, espescially given the fact that this was released in 1994, the effects could really hold their own against some more recent action movies.
Tea Leoni, I have to say does quite well, but I imagine it was quite dificult being there with the two boys when they got into full flow, and she does seem a little out of her depth in parts.
The DVD version that I have is the collectors edition, with a couple of featurettes and music videos, but to be honest, I didnt buy it for the extras!
This really is a movie for all, a proper action movie that doesnt take itself seriously ends up working even better!
