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.

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.

Chicago Reader -
Enjoyable action comedy from the Clint Eastwood mold, though the comic elements are more fun than the action.
|
|
|
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.
