Sure, this appears to be a total ripoff of many well known thrillers that have already been mentioned in many reviews here ad nauseum. I mean, yeah, we get it, you've seen this before. But, you haven't, really, and that's why I liked it and even gave it more stars than it deserves, just to balance out the extremely negative reviews.
The script was a bit lacking, but it was understandable, logical and the story moved along without a lot of wasted time. The production values were acceptable. Makeup was good. In other words, nothing great or awful.
I have no idea what Martin Lawrence is doing in this film, anyone could have played his part; in fact, anyone could have played almost any part in this film, although Malkovich was just fine, because he is always fine. And I didn't dislike the intrepid female detective either, I thought she did well enough with what she was given.
At a certain point you are going to say, "oh no, this is gonna go there?" and it does, but I wound up not minding at all, and I actually liked the ending. There are far worse ways to waste your time than watching this movie.
