Movie Reviews of National Security
Movie Review: Another Lawrence Bomb
Summary: 1 Stars
Looking for a dumb movie with a lot of dumb and a side helping of dumb, look no further. A sad offering from Mr. Lawrence, an actor/comedian who has done so much better.
Summary of National Security
When Martin Lawrence (Bad Boys) and Steve Zahn (Daddy Day Care) team up as security guards no one's safe! LAPD reject and major troublemaker Earl (Lawrence) got L.A. cop Hank (Zahn) kicked off the force for brutality. Now these two guys who can't stand each other are stuck working together as lowly security guards. And they're playing cops to bring down a smuggling ring if they can stay alive and stay one step ahead of the real cops.Co-starring Eric Roberts (The Specialist) NATIONAL SECURITY will take you on a wild ride with the most unlikely heroes ever to wear a badge!System Requirements:Starring: Martin Lawrence Steve Zahn Colm Feore Bill Duke Eric Roberts Timothy Busfield Joe Flaherty and Robinne Lee. Directed By: Dennis Dugan. Running Time: 88 Min. Color. This film is presented in both "Widescreen" and "Standard" formats. Copyright 2003 Columbia Tri-Star.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: PG-13 UPC: 043396078208 Manufacturer No: 07820Although it's enjoyable as a brainless diversion, National Security is one of those forgettable entertainments that denies its own considerable potential. It's a police action comedy in the mold of Beverly Hills Cop, tailored to the buddy-flick formula and laced with racial tensions of the post-Rodney King era. It's set in Los Angeles, where dedicated cop Hank (Steve Zahn) does jail time for allegedly beating Earl (Martin Lawrence), whose only real assailant was an overzealous bumblebee. As fate and lazy screenwriting would have it, the two adversaries reunite as security guards, teaming up to crack a team of violent smugglers led by bleached-blonde Eric Roberts (further proof that this movie's got nothing new to offer). Routine stunts distract from the comedy's mostly untapped resource: Lawrence pointedly riffs on racial profiling, and his prolific ad-libs play well against Zahn's by-the-book straight man. If their partnership had been allowed to develop more believably, National Security might have been more than a blip on the box-office radar. --Jeff Shannon
