This is such an AMAZINGLY mediocre movie. Truly, the level of not-good-but-not-too-bad is persistently off the charts.
Nick Nolte is a poor man’s…anyone. Or a median-income man’s Mitchell. Or a lucky man to get any roles at all. Or a straw man if you pick on his acting over Murphy’s.
One good thing: Murphy is decent and sometimes amusing.
WOW is some of this music cheezy as hell. WHY, James Horner?
If this had any effect on the making of GOOD cop/buddy action flicks, great, and thank you. But by itself it’s a mediocre version of something that’s since been done to death, and much better.
