Kevin Smith directs but does not write this tribute to 1980s buddy cop films.
Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan are the mismatched pair. Jimmy (Bruce Willis) and Paul (Tracy Morgan) on suspension from a drug bust gone wrong. Jimmy decides to sell an antique baseball card to help pay for his daughter's wedding but when making the transaction he gets robbed and the card is sold to a notorious criminal.
The pair then go about retrieving the card, even by finding one of the crooks who robbed him (Sean William Scott) to help them out.
At the same time they come across a drug lord who has kidnapped someone and Paul thinks his wife is having an affair.
With a music score by Harold Faltermeyer this film certainly wants you to think of Beverly Hills Cop, Running Scared, Turner & Hooch, Tango & Cash as well as other 80s mismatched buddy comedies.
The trouble is the script here is rubbish, many of the side characters are annoying and there is no chemistry between Morgan and Willis. In fact Willis is just sleepwalking it here. I do not think he even tries to act any more.
The story is derivative and none of the so called funny antics add much. Sure Smith can bring out a few mild laughs here and there but this is poor from him.
