When I think tough cops, I think Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines


Average Buddy. They have ok chemistry. Crystal is annoying. They both seem like sidekick type actors. It has One decent chase. Jimmy Smits was a lame villian. Might have better if Peter Hyams wasn't the director. It is no lethal weapon or 48 Hours, which Hines turned down to do the Cotton Club.

When I think of a movie tough cops, I think of Gregory Hines, too. I liked him in Off Limits.

When I think of a donut hole, I think of Billy Crystal.
