Review
Formulaic but quite enjoyable action-thriller
with Eddie Murphy, in his final cop-lead-role to date, battling wits with
sociopath Michael Wincott. Murphy's performance is more level-headed than usual,
and he even shows his serious side in a cute romantic sideplot with the
beautiful young Brit Carmen Ejogo. Murphy and Michael Rapaport strike up an apt
buddy/cop relationship before the breathless finale takes us down the streets of
San Francisco on a runaway streetcar. Thomas Carter directs as impersonally as
he possible can, and creates good entertainment in the process, but that's also
it. Wincott is inspired in a part that could have been brilliant with a little
more depth.
