Agent Reed:
[answers phone] Special Agent Reed, identify yourself.
Jamal:
5073. The other kids are shooting at me, mom, and I wanna come home.
Agent Reed:
No, no. You can't do that. We need you to find out what Kittredge is really up to.
Jamal:
Agent Reed, you've confused me with somebody who gives a damn, okay? I didn't sign up for a hero gig. Come and get me, all right? Put me in jail. I don't care. All I got with me is a tugboat captain with a death wish.

It could have been worse if it was longer.
I rented this movie based on the synopsis on the back. Here is the first line: "Former Navy Seal Lamont Dixon (Eddie Griffin) thought he left his fighting days behind when he became a tugboat captain... "
Okay I really rented the movie based on my vision of the pitch someone had to give to get this movie made.
My vision of the pitch:
"Okay.... Eddie Griffin.... okay... stay with me.... Eddie griffin is a retired Navy Seal.... okay.... stay with me.... now he's a tug boat captain!.... okay stay with me.... he fights terrorists from his tug boat! HAHAHAHA... but it's not funny... okay, okay, stay with me.... "
I had to see THAT movie.
Turns out Griffin is a firefighter!???!?! WHAAAA?? I thought he was a navy seal! I wanted Navy Seal action. He's a firefighter with PTSD?!?!? Not funny, bad acting, lame action. Don't get me wrong, I am usually okay with bad movies. But I need to see some kind of over the top, outrageous, action scenes. The Transporter 2 that was a bad movie worth seeing. I would even see that again. I wanna see a jet ski chase down a bus on the freeway in every bad action movie!
The only funny part of this movie is the explanation from Breckin Meyer about why his parents named him Jamal. I'm naming my kid Jamal.
All in all unless your a HUGE Eddie Griffin fan. NEVER SEE THIS MOVIE! EVER!
