Plots(1)
Fallon is Washburn, a truly pathetic New York City cop who can't seem to wake up in the morning without bumbling busts and breaking whatever he touches. After his most recent debacle, his boss and former flame, Lieutenant Marta Robbins (Jennifer Esposito), revoked his license. Latifah is Belle, a retired bike messenger who is about to fulfill a lifelong dream of becoming a bona fide cab driver. When Fallon commandeers Belle's services after hearing of a nearby bank robbery, a partnership is formed. Unfortunately, even when he means well, Washburn is nothing but trouble. Against her better judgment, Belle finds herself doing what she can to help out the pitiful Washburn, even though the bank robbers (led by supermodel Gisele Bundchen) are several steps ahead of the game.

An acting disaster, no action, lame humor and boring directing. The result is an awfully unsuccessful remake of an already unremarkable French original. At least the French one had charismatic protagonists, a good dose of tongue in cheek and, mainly, decent action sequences. We get nothing of that here, and so the almost hundred minutes of this movie is pure torture. A very low two *.
