Top CriticMr. Wayans is an agreeable screen presence, but he makes a surprisingly bland action hero.

Top CriticIt's easy -- far too easy -- to use the title of Keenen Ivory Wayans' latest movie as a description. Unfortunately, it's also accurate.

Top CriticHere is a movie about guns. Take away the guns, and the movie would be about nothing much.
