- 80The Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenThe Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenNimbly blending comedy and action -- with an affectionate slo-mo nod to John Woo -- McKay does his best work to date here.
- 70Arizona RepublicArizona RepublicA surprising, laugh-out-loud take on the old buddy-cop genre. It's sneaky and smartly funny, offering an almost perfect balance of action and comedy. That's the good news. Then there's the matter of the movie's disheartening final 25 minutes.
