Year: | 1997 |
Director: | Thomas Carter |
Cast: | Eddie Murphy, Michael Rapaport, Michael Wincott |
That said, the plot is pretty straightforward action movie fare. Murphy is a hotshot police negotiatior, specialising in talking psychos into giving up hostages. He meets his match in a creepy bank robber (Wincott), with who he spends the rest of the film hunting down with the help of dolt new partner (Rapaport).
Bringing his girlfriend into the fray, the villain is appropriately scary (played well by the always creepy Wincott) and the action satisfying throughout. Don't expect a lot, but don't expect a comedy.
