Not a bad movie, not at all.

SPOILERS BELOW.

You have been warned.

So, why, again, did the helicopters chase the speedboat in Miami Harbour? I never did figure that out, except maybe they had some...um...merchandise on them.

And at the very end, Marcus does a somersault in a live minefield. Clearly, Syd got the brains, she just ducked where she was.

I didn't think that it was as bad as the reviews made it out to be. They make it sound like the worst movie since Manos. But it was really just action sequence after action sequence after action sequence after action sequence after action sequence after...

For 2 and a half hours. For some reason the movie just felt really, really long to me. Well, 2 and a half is pretty long but for some reason it felt like five. Maybe that's a bad thing. Will and Martin are funny but they do pretty much the same things throughout the entire movie. And the drug lord seems to be the most stereotypical character out there. But it did have some fun scenes. The highway chase was good, if kind of pointless. The gunfight in the house with the Haitians. The sneaking into the the mortuary (and the two Hispanic cops crashing the ambulance into the front door; that was hilarious). Though the chase with the dead bodies was sick. Not the best taste I've seen. Not too great of a movie. It just felt really really long.
Grade: C.

The speedboat had the drugs in it. When the stormed the mortuary they found it empty. The guys they had surveilling the place told them that the place had been cleared out and cargo had been taken to the dock. Miami PD told Coast Guard to lock down the harbor and the drug boat was the only boat out there.

Greta Lines: "Oh I'm Miami P.D. now. Never mind that I'm your brother. What you did was reckless, and dangerous, and stup!d. I'm telling mommy."

Martin Lawrence's character.

Here's are some even better Greta Lines:

"I want to be left alone...."

"I think I'll go back to Sweden!"
