It looked pretty good, up until that PG-13, which leads me to believe it is just gonna be another watered-down thriller. Seriously, how much gritty realism can there be in a PG-13 cop movie?

i really liked the concept behind this movie. definitely something a little different than the same old cop movie. mos def was really good in this. i thought he was hilarious. bruce willis was solid in it as well. overall, i thought it was a good movie.

I get this for my mom as a christmas present, so I'll be seeing it in about a month. I got it because she looks bruce willis and cop movies. The reviews seem pretty positive overall.

It's alright, but I wouldn't expect too much.

yep. pretty middle of the road. but some of it is rather enjoyable due to the directing. and a fat, old bruce willis still kickin' ass.
