Advantages: good film, great action

Disadvantages: annoying female lead

A story of 2 black cops, who have the only witness to a murder
(and link to a big pile of drugs) to protect. Due
to various slightly contrived cirumstances, the cops have to
pretend to be each other to keep the witness, and
much amusement follows.

Will Smith plays the smooth-talking woman's man, Mike
Lowrey - who has money through his family, and is
a copy because it's all he ever wanted to be. (Sound a
bit "Fresh Prince"?). His partner, Markus (Martin Lawrence)
is a family-man, with 4 kids and a wife that are all
that is important to him. The witness, played by
Mrs David Duchovny, is just too annoying for you to feel
too much sympathy with - when you're being chased by
the bad guys and told to stay in the appartment,
you just don't go out nightclubbing to the place
you expect them to be!!

The film is full of nice little one-liners which Smith
throws out with his normal perfect timing. And the
rapport between the two stars is perfect.

The bad guy is of that genre of bad guys you find
in films such as Die Hard - cold, ruthless, and foreign.
Not quite in the same class as the Die Hard villains
of old, though.
