| Rating |  | | Date | February 07, 2005 | | Summary | LAUGHS, ACTION, and BEACH BOYS MUSIC, it's all here!!! | Content
 | This is a fish out of water story (a reversed, Beverly Hills Cop, if you would) where a white cop from a shiny, modernized, police station, is transferred to a gritty, dilapidated, and crime ridded, gettoeque, police station, in one of the best 80's styled buddy films ever made.
There's plenty of laughs, action, and Beach Boys music, for everyone to enjoy.
Anthony Edwards (when he had hair) as the shiny new, eager to right the worlds wrongs cop, from the right side of the tracks, who plays, ever so gratingly, against Forest Whitaker, as the put upon, chip on his shoulder cop, from the wrong side of the tracks.
The fun in the movie is watching the bond between the two cops, grow, as each learns to appreciate the other, and become friends.
This movie is a classic, and WELL worth the price of admission. |

| Don't believe Maltin. This is a cool film. It shows a white cop with no experience of the inner city going to school Downtown. He learns the hard way on a lot of the idiosyncrasies of "da hood". What Maltin also missed was the angry commanding officer of the Diamond Street District. Watching him go off is funny as hell. Don't miss this movie. You'll learn a few come backs for your boss one day from this guy. |
