[6/10 · 27 May 2006]

This is a decent Hip Hop whodunit Comedy, that gave me a few chuckles, as it's an alright time waster but nothing more. All the characters are alright, and the story is amusing enough, plus while it was amusing for one watch, I don't think it would be something I would watch again. I found this at a pawn shop for 1$ so i decided to buy it, and the performances are fun, especially Dennis Leary's hilarious performances, plus Ed Lover and Doctor Dré are fun as the two dimwitted Rookie cops!. It has a short running time so it's painless, and the ending was pretty funny as well, plus it's decently made and written in my opinion. The whole no donut's thing for Dr.Dre with Dennis Leary cracked me up each time, and This should at least be a bit higher then 4.6 in my opinion, plus it's got a couple of scenes with the famous Bernie mac as it was quite funny to see him in a film like this!. The title was amusing for me, and I surprisingly found a lot of the black humor very funny at times, plus there's not really a villain either. This is a decent Hip Hop Whodunit Comnedy, that gave me a few chuckles, as it's an alright time waster but nothing more, still worth the watch. The Direction is decent. Ted Demme does a decent job here with OK camera work, good angles and keeping the film amusing and at a fairly fast pace throughout. The Acting is pretty fun actually. Ed Lover and Doctor Dré are great fun together and brought most of the laughs to to the film as the two dim witted Rookie cops, they were likable and cracked me up I dug them!. Ice-T and Bernie Mac have very short roles but both do fine as it was amusing to see them. Denis Leary is absolutely hilarious in his role he had me in stitches a lot of the time, if only he had more screen time, because I loved him!. Rest of the cast are fine. Overall worth the watch. **1/2 out of 5
