Could've been better

Keanu played a hella good part in this. Whitaker makes the story even more twisting a little by drawing viewers into the good/bad cop act. I has a little Training Day theme but a way different twist. Terry Crews, Common, Cedric... Full review

Just another cop movie. It's all been done before and this isn't anything different. This is like Heat, Starsky and Hutch, and Showtime, without that something that makes the movie good. I couldn't sit through this movie because I couldn't concentrate... Full review

Overall it was a good movie. I think it could have used a little more character development. The only real problem with it, is there were only four good people in the movie and two of them were killed.... Full review
A Little Overacted
Sep 10, 2008
eavery92 - yahoo.com
Don't get me wrong this film was good, but way overacted. Whitaker and Reeves and even Evans overacted. Including the game and common. Laurie did ok. The acting was still good, but overacted. The story was good, had a lot of... Full review
