About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want loud, macho buddy-cop fun with constant banter, prison tension, and big explosions, in the same wheelhouse as Lock Up; Not for you if you need a tight, realistic plot and subtle humor.
Pros: fun buddy-cop chemistry; energetic action set pieces; quotable cheesy one-liners | Cons: thin predictable story; over-the-top silliness; finale drags a bit
