It's the slapstick Die Hard. Eddie Murphy chortles his way through your every day generic cop drama that's hinged totally on his charasmatic performance. Has its funny moments, not a bad way to spend a couple of hours.

Eddie Murphy looks like the latest victim of the Star Magic Syndrome, in which it is assumed that a movie will be a hit simply because it stars an enormously talented person.full review
