CIA operative Kevin Pope (Chris Rock) is suave, brilliant and right on the verge of completing a top secret mission to keep a rogue nuclear weapon off the black market when he is suddenly killed. With the clock ticking and no other options available, the CIA reluctantly enlists Kevin's long-lost identical twin brother Jake to take his place. Jake is the mirror opposite of Kevin, a working class Joe, it's a comically uphill challenge to train him as a secret agent and get him in the field.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Chris Rock and Anthony Hopkins fail to generate the sparks necessary to save the movie from a generic and utterly predictable script.

Cork B @RT87142816 Nov 25 Mildly entertaining, but then I fell asleep. I doubt it gets any better. But it does have that 90s look and cinematography to it that I enjoy. Chris Rock as the spy? I think maybe the film takes itself a bit too seriously. In the same vein, Enemy of the State was way better.

Blackmail, death threats, a whole lot of money? See more Rosana B @RosanaBotafogo 01/01/2025 Um filme de ação e comédia estrelado pelo nojento Chris Rock e o sempre maravilhoso Anthony Hopkins. O filme se tornou um tanto famoso por suas conexões com os ataques terroristas de 11 de setembro; foi a última grande produção a ser filmada dentro do World Trade Center original e cita, entre outros terroristas, um Afeganistão... Pior que é até engraçadinho, com boas cenas de ação, perseguição, tiro, porrada e bomba, clima de tensão na medida, um pouco longo, mas agradável... See more Dale R @iromulus9 07/07/2024 Anthony Hopkins stars as a CIA agent who must train a wise cracking, street smart ticket scalper, played by Chris Rock, how to act like his twin brother who was also a CIA operative. The only reason to put these two actors together is to make Anthony Hopkins the straight man to Chris Rock’s comedy. The problem is that they only share a couple of scenes that allow for that. The rest of the movie forces the two of them to focus on plot and action. This also never really allows Chris Rock to set up his style of comedy, which needs to be set up. The end of the second act felt like the finale, and the true finale was boring. Skip this movie. See more Pickatcu 1 @RT41898832 08/14/2023 A simple cheesy action movie... nothing more maybe the chemistry between Chris Rock and Anthony Hopkins was good but no I don't want a sequel from this movie...
