Just a Waste!
Added 3/4/2007
Hmmmm? What movie was it that had a Black man investigating the death of his white friend in a fish-out-of-water scenario? Aha! Replace Eddie Murphy with Louis Gossett, Jr. and replace Beverly Hills with Managua, Nicaragua. This film is just a serious version of "Beverly Hills Cop" and its comedy.
This movie had neither action nor suspense. The surprise events did nothing for me. This was more of a C-movie than a B-movie. This is the type of garbage that cable stations show outside of peak hours. Even seeing Gossett's buns did not improve this work.
Gossett is a veteran-turned-white collar worker sent on a mission that surely only a trained CIA staff member would be asked to do. Supposedly, Gossett's character and his best buddy fought in Vietnam together. However, his buddy looks 30 years younger than him. This film does try to hide Gossett's age, but the wrinkles don't lie. A twentysomething white man and a fiftysomething brotha could not have been in any war with each other side by side.
There's more crazy stuff too. Gossett's character compliments a woman's house. The house had exposed cement blocks and looked like a bomb hit it. This movie is a hot, funky, shameful, pee-yew mess!
