Kinda. In this one Dat ‘Nu doesn’t exactly save the world like he does in all his other movies, but he does manage to save the film from all its horrible cliché officer and criminal portrayals. From Terry Crews’ wrinkled forehead starring as the mad ass black detective, to the Hispanic simp from Prison Break as the…yup, dumb Hispanic cop, to Jay Mohr’s horrible mustache as Sgt. comedy relief, right on through Game and Common as unconvincing criminals who seem to be reading from cue cards. (Especially Common. Wow…I’ve seen Nick Cannon play a more convincing thug during sketch comedy.) Most of the supporting cast was just hard to watch. Anyway, during this paid vacation before he plays his next real role, our screenplay savior Keanu is Detective Tom Ludlow, a crooked officer with a twisted set of values. Like, he’s really a good guy deep down, so you’re willing to overlook his slight crookedness. You know, like that uncle with the wishbone shaped leg causing him to dip around? You’ve seen it so much, you’re as immune to it as you are homicides on the evening news. *segue* Speaking of which, that’s Keanu’s little bad habit; he be shooting muhfukkas first and asking them questions late---wait, how come people say this dumb shit? If you shoot someone how are you gonna ask them something later on, if they’re dead? Stupid. Oh yes, the story is as basic as no premium channel cable, but just to give a few supporting cast members their due in helping it along, I will say Forest Whitaker and Hugh Laurie (House M.D.) who play Keanu’s commanding officers do an above average job at cleverly throwing wrenches in his plans. And before I forget, Cedric was god-awful in this too. He kept saying “Mayne.” I wanted him to die right after his first scene. Now, I had to wait awhile, but he did get his ass killed, so that worked out.
