Plots(1)
Joe Gavilan (Harrison Ford) is an LAPD officer moonlighting as a real-estate agent to make ends meet. K.C. Calden (Josh Hartnett) is a fellow officer, sometimes masquerading as a yoga instructor to meet women, and harboring some serious acting aspirations. As the two struggle to pursue their sideline businesses, they get called up to investigate the mysterious murder of a rap group called H20 Klick. As the duo track down the killers, plenty of laughs ensue as they both desperately attempt to sell their alternative careers to anyone that crosses their paths. Joe attempts to sell property to the nightclub owner where the shootings took place, and K.C. endlessly quotes movie dialogue in an attempt to brush up on his acting skills at the most inopportune moments. The action builds to a frantic finale involving some spectacular--and hilarious--car chases around the crime-strewn streets of Los Angeles. (official distributor synopsis)

"Never mind that the story sucks. Let's put in some two stars, an older and proven one and a young up-and-comer. Maybe it will work." It didn’t. One of Ford's worst commercial flops is full of scenes that wink at the viewer: "Look what a terrible crap this is, laugh", but the result is a tired and impotent attempt at humour. All in all, a terrible drag, and that one car chase doesn't save it. And when I subtract Ford's fat fee, I ask myself where did the 80 million budgeted go? My God!

This couldn’t possibly be a more clearly mediocre movie. This is totally mediocre in all respects, from start to finish, all of its aspects and all of its moments. The actors? Mediocre. Character charisma? Mediocre. Screenplay? (Below) mediocre. And, everything else? Mediocre... What cost all that money when making this movie, I just don’t know. It looks like a mediocre pilot for a mediocre detective comedy series. Absolutely pure mediocre 50 percent. Simply mediocre, if get my drift?
