Bruce Willis stars in this thriller about a down-on-his-luck private eye who gets a plum assignment guarding an exotic dancer (a young Halle Berry).
Unfortunately, he gets the job from his best friend, which ordinarily wouldn't be so bad, but he gets the job because his friend is finds out that it's dangerous, and since he is sleeping with his wife, he wants him out of the picture. Too bad for him he's too late and gets blown up early on.
Soon after the client gets whacked too, the over-protective boyfriend (Damon Wayans) wants to help out and a new buddy team is born. It's really too bad they didn't make more films together because they played off each other pretty well.
At the end, Wayans' street-smart ex-football player character looks as if he may be teaming up with Willis' gruff, unlikable detective, once they've done in the bad guys. The movie is full of action and while there isn't much mystery, it certainly keeps things moving right along the whole way through.
Rated R for language, violence, drug use and even some nudity.
