Als der erfolgreiche Werbekaufmann Nick Beam eines Nachmittags unangekündigt nach Hause kommt, bricht die Welt für ihn zusammen: Seine Frau betrügt ihn mit seinem Chef! Wie in Trance fährt Nick los und gerät, ohne es zu merken, in ein düsteres Viertel von Los Angeles. An einer Ampel springt plötzlich der Kleinganove T. Paul zu ihm ins Auto und will seine Brieftasche. Doch da kommt er bei Nick an den falschen Mann am falschen Tag: Nick verriegelt die Türen und rast mit seinem Begleiter wider Willen los in ein haarsträubendes Abenteuer, bei dem die beiden bald nicht nur von der Polizei, sondern auch von einem gemeingefährlichen Gangsterduo gejagt werden...

A decent, but not particularly outstanding comedy, which relies on the character acting of Tim Robbins and the stereotypical acting of Martin Lawrence in the lead roles. In the first few minutes, it is truly refreshing and reminiscent of the provocative approaches of the American independent scene. However, after the first fifteen minutes, the screenwriter runs out of courage or ideas, and the story unfolds in the typical three-star rating territory. Overall impression: 60%.

An excellent action comedy. Tim Robbins' life comes crashing down when he catches his wife with another man, and from that point on things go downhill. He is ambushed in his car by a street thug, Martin Lawrence, but he takes his breath away with his fearlessness and hits the gas, giving us a great buddy road movie where a cultured and respectable man becomes criminal number one. I laughed solidly thanks to perfect moments, fine twists, irony and dark humour. I'll never forget the dancing officer. 80%.

A riotously funny comedy that keeps the laughter rolling from start to finish. The clever, witty script is packed with legendary phrases that have become synonymous with the film, and the acting by Martin Lawrence and Tim Robbins is both endearing and hilarious. One particularly unforgettable scene involves a pair of shoes catching fire, showcasing the duo's impeccable comedic timing and physical comedy skills. This uproarious film is guaranteed to leave you in stitches and serves as a perfect pick-me-up for any day.
