New Times (L.A.)
This nearly perfect confection never takes its action more seriously than its comedy.

New York Daily News
Like a Hollywood buddy-cop movie gone through a multi-culti blender. It holds up a funhouse mirror to that familiar scenario in which a maverick cop breaks the rules.
75
New York Post
The spaniel-eyed Jean Reno ("Ronin") infuses Hubert with a mixture of deadpan cool, wry humor and just the measure of tenderness required to give this comic slugfest some heart.
70
Chicago Reader
Enjoyable action comedy from the Clint Eastwood mold, though the comic elements are more fun than the action.
60
The A.V. Club
Offers watchable light entertainment, even though the prospect of the most respected national cinema indulging clunky cop-movie stereotypes is, if not scandalous, then at least disappointing.
