The action in National Security is mindless, while the humor says nothing insightful about racial issues.

Despite some tasty contributions from Lawrence and Zahn, too much of National Security has the bland flavor of microwaved leftovers. Jan 20, 2003 | Rating: 2/4

A lame blend of comedy and action in which both credibility and laughs are blown to smithereens. Jan 18, 2003 | Rating: D+

This is lowest common dominator filmmaking in every sense of the word, which shouldn't come as any surprise to anyone familiar with the oeuvre of director Dennis Dugan. Jun 19, 2003 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…
