"He's a cop that's not. Believe that!"
- Director: Les Mayfield
- Genre: Thriller, Action, Comedy, Crime
- Studio: Columbia Pictures
- Widescreen | Duration: 120 Mins
Overview:
In this crime comedy, Martin Lawrence plays a thief who emerges from prison and is horrified to find that the construction site where he had hidden a stolen jewel is now a police station. Joining the boys in blue, his "wrong side of the law" approach to crime-solving yields some extraordinary results. Unlike so many action comedies, director Les Mayfield's film boasts an intricate and cleverly structured plot, though the tension is undermined by Lawrence's wild overacting. Highly reminiscent of Eddie Murphy's early (funny) movies, not to mention the 1965 British comedy The Big Job starring Sid James, this may be unashamedly lowbrow entertainment, but it's great fun nonetheless.
