You Think You Know Me...
The Story:
Detective
Blades (Edge...Adam Copeland) is on administrative leave from the force
while on trial for corruption by the assistant District Attorney (Jamie
Kennedy). Of course when circumstances force the two adversaries to
work together, can the two survive each other long enough to find the
person
that wants them dead?
Coming from WWE Studios, this wasn't half bad.
A budget film to be sure, but Edge has the charisma and charm to carry over into Hollywood
films. He does just fine throughout and keeps the movie watchable.
Jamie Kennedy as the assistant DA is an interesting choice. He isn't over-the-top funnyman, so he acquits himself well.
The movie itself isn't quite balanced with humor and action to be a perfect buddy cop comedy, but they try really
hard. They spend too much time waffling... "do we want to be funny..." or "do we want to go full-tilt action..." and are otherwise unwilling to fall completely into one mode or the other.
With a bigger budget, this could have been a contender.
As it is, a worthy entry into the buddy comedy/action genres. Not as good as the classics, but not the bottom of the barrel.
Final Grade: C+
Would I Own It: If I found it on sale, I could pick it up. Edge was always one of my favorites. : )
