A classic set up of two mismatched crime fighting partners. Bruce Willis (our hero) as the burned out private dick and Damon Wayans as the high strung sports superstar. The story is about an investigation into corrupt football players and kingpins.
This movie has a great many similarities to the Lethal Weapon formula, but hell, it was written and produced by the same guys. And Willis didn’t exactly break out of the mold as a one-line tossing socially unacceptable super cop. But all in all, pretty enjoyable. The ending left itself wide open for a sequel, but nothing has come of that yet.
