Great, until the talking started.

Someone dumped a bunch of money on this and I'm trying to figure out why. This is a buddy cop movies but only in the most cliche ridden way. Cop 1 can't seem to pass the Sargents exam which makes cop 1 mad, cop 2 cop 1's partner/mentor gets injured cop 1 with visible chip on shoulder breaks all the rules to help save cop 2. Every cop show every buddy cop movie has this plot several times over. Every good/bad buddy cop movie has comic relief like say Pesci in "Lethal Weapon" this has that but with a needy English man who constantly mentions his girlfriend and as far as I can tell has almost no purpose other then to exasperate cop 1. The major difference between a buddy cop movie is that this has all powerful Gods that somehow can be subdued by a skillet bashing the side of the head which also raises an interesting question, why would a skillet be sitting on a desk in an underground holding station for greasy haired immortals. The fight scenes are pretty good except like most bad martial arts movies they wait to fight the hero one at a time rather than attack all at once. Cop 1 and cop 2 are solid actors who do a good job. Everyone else is a caricature of all the side pieces from the buddy cop movie playbook. If your a fan of every cliche filled good fighting evil film this could do it for you, but all I saw was a pale imitation of Lethal Weapon.
