The yummy policewoman Reese Witherspoon is on a mission to protect a drug dealer and his delicious wife Sofia Vergara who will testify against a big boss and drug leader.

The sweet policeman Reese Witherspoon put herself into danger, she must

protect the sexy lady Mrs. Riva (Sofia Vergara) from corrupt gangsters and bad policemen.

You will see the best kind of action,fun and great entertainment from beginning till the end.

Sofia Vergara is a very promising actress and I fell in love with her.

Concerning the stunning Reese Witherspoon, she is indeed a great actress.
