Is it bad, no. Was it fun, yes.

For starters, how can you go wrong with Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg in the same movie? This was a great little find on my Netflix stream that I clicked on the spur-of-the-moment (which I rarely do) simply because of those two names...and I was not disappointed. Great little easy-to-watch action flick with just enough humor thrown in to keep it from being "just another cop show". The chemistry between Washington and Wahlberg was great, seemingly natural, and a lot of fun to watch. The storyline was simple, with enough twists in there to keep you scratching your head, and the action was exaggerated just enough without seeming silly or juvenile. Toss in a great supporting cast that includes James Marsden ("Cyclops" from the _X-Men_ movies) and Robert John Burke and you just have a great action movie that's "fun" at the same time. Glad I happened across this one!

A fun romp with two veteran action stars

Director Baltasar Komakur does an excellent job with the cast and the storyline, and makes the viewer interested in what is going to happen next. Great thing about this movie is it can possibly be happening every day. Our government agencies overlap all the time and they don't talk between each other. This is a great movie to go and see.

Ooops...I...did...it..agaaaain...
