Critic Reviews

TNT RoughCut Matt Kelsey

Lawrence goes the extreme distance to make you fall out of your chair laughing.

Jim Sullivan

A rather witty, streetwise comedy/action movie with a lot going for it. Read full review

Jami Bernard

The plot is formula all the way, but Lawrence has found a way to incorporate the physical techniques of the great silent stars with his standup comic's arsenal, and it's a pleasure to watch him at work. Read full review

Milton Kent

Utterly lightweight.

Jonathan Rosenbaum

The usual valorizing of guns and vigilante justice and tedious action sequences to begin and end the picture. Read full review

Mr. Showbiz Cody Clark

An empty reminder that Martin Lawrence can be pretty funny, in a spastic, loose-limbed way -- maybe next time he'll get a worthwhile script.

Paul Malcolm

(Lawrence)'s not just unfunny, he's coarsely anti-funny. The film just lurches from one dull skit to the next without bite or much of a point. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. William Forsythe was in a similar situation, as in this film, in The Rock (1996). In both movies, he played a sympathetic law enforcement agent who let the "criminal" go or was indifferent or sympathetic to his escape. In The Rock (1996), he was told that Mason (Sir Sean Connery) was vaporized and could not be apprehended. He smiled knowing he had escaped capture by the F.B.I. In this movie, upon learning Logan is a felon and not a cop, he smiles when he discovers Logan is just inside the Mexican border and can't be caught.… Expand
