OK, maybe (just maybe) slightly over-rated
But I really enjoyed the catty and sarcastic back and forth of Will Smith's and Martin Lawrence's characters. For some, this may be a detractor and get annoying quickly. But for me, I was very amused by it.This is perhaps director Michael Bay's best film. (Armageddon and Pearl Harbor were both wretched.)An enjoyable film. Better than "Con-Air." On par with "The Rock." Good action. Funny banter and repartee. Although a lot of killing - what would you expect from a Simpson/Bruckheimer production though?I know --- I've panned American Beauty, Magnolia, The Green Mile, Unbreakable, Wonder Boys, Cider house Rules (what am I forgetting? -- and now I'm lauding this movie? Go figure. It made me laugh. A lot. LMAO is good :)If you enjoyed "Midnight Run" and or "Planes, Trains & Automobiles," then give this one a try. Or if you like Bad Boys, you may want to look into PlanesTrains&Automobile and Midnight Run. All have a lot of enjoyable banter.
