With this cast, I'm going to have to watch it. It'll either be a train wreck or really well done.

Saw it yesterday. Very entertaining. Yeah, it strains credulity a little. Who cares? Liked it.

 

[Renz]

Agree with all the above. Kinda predictable, but great entertainment. Reeves is good in these sort of "tough guy" roles, IMO. He comes across as a pretty big dude on screen.

I just watched it.
I love Forrest Whitaker.
Solid movie, good entertainment.
Except for; Jay Mohr's porn mustache.

Just got back! This movie freaking ROCKED!

I kinda was feeling "meh" about this movie till I saw that Shane liked it. Since I think we've only disagreed on exactly two movies ever, I'll make a point to watch it.

Thanks, Shane!!!!!

Recently watched it. It was good enough to hold my interest throughout.

I actually really liked Keanu in this role. He really nailed the depressed nothin-to-lose cop. He performs well when in the right role.
