kinda funny

Funny movie but not so great. 2 great actors Cage and Jackson can not make this movie super, it's a pity.

Not particularly funny.

Ambitious but poorly paced, which is the death of farce. Tries to take on some weighty topics and ends up not doing much of anything.

This got made just prior to Sam Jackson's rise to fame and during a lull in Nicholas Cage's career, taking two pretty good actors and sticking them in one "okay" script. What should have been a total turd gets turned into something watchable and fun, simply based on what two talented actors can do.

ok

Extremely dated comedy that asks: What if police brutality and racism were actually hilarious? If you can accept these extremely 90s movie concepts you'll get a decently funny movie.

Not enough Nic Cage Losing His Shit moments make this a very boring buddy film, although he and Sam seem to be enjoying their roles quite a bit, as characters who show a complete disbelief in America -- Nic as a bandit trying to reach Canada, Sam as a black man who has the status of an intellectual. Too bad the film tries to insist in being some sort of comment on media circus and race, eventually not achieving anything interesting in both of these themes.

Entertaining enough, Nic seemed to be enjoying himself in this role.

Fairly funny at times, and it's tempting to want to rehabilitate this in the current political climate, but it goes too easy on itself (less pretentious way of saying this: the racism it pokes fun at is only the most obvious kind) and is not aesthetically worthwhile.

This movie needed a couple of rewrites of the script. The premise has a lot of potential and is still relevant today but the script wastes the premise. The actors try their best but ultimately they can't save the weak script.

Hoo boy, some of the tonal choices seem very questionable today, but overall I still found this mostly amusing.

Really, really bad.

My first exposure to Sam Jackson, but really a forgettable film that should stay forgotten.

The whole situation with Samuel Jackson being mistaken for a thief while moving into his house due to the prejudices of the community starts out the film with some decent humor, but once the addition of real crook Nicolas Cage comes in to do cleanup for the chief the story just feels sloppy. Cage and Jackson are A+ as always, really good acting and tremendous fun watching them interact, but it's just not that well written.

I don't remember much of this film, but I saw it in fifth grade, and thought it was the worst thing in the world (I remember saying as much), and so I'm going to go with my 5th grade gut reaction. Fuck this movie.

Hysterical racial tension comedy.

Silly too much, have their moments, but it's just another weak Nicolas Cage comedy.

Meh, it's there. This could have been a better film given th talent. Yes it is a comedy about race relations, but this concept has been done better. Go see "Look Who's Coming to Dinner" and see what I mean.
