Nothing to Lose Reviews

There was a time when Tim Robbins was one of the most exciting actors around. It started in 1990 with ‘Jacob's Ladder’ and ended in 1994 with his greatest movie ‘The Shawshank Redemption’. In the mean time, he managed to make ‘The Player’, ‘Bob Roberts’(his amazing and criminally underrated directing debut), ‘Short Cuts’ and ‘The Hudsucker Proxy’. All those were quite awesome and the guy was just in the zone back in those days. Unfortunately, all things have to end and this movie was definitely the beginning of the end. I mean, to be honest, it wasn’t that bad at all as it was actually a decent buddy movie, even probably one of the best movies starring Martin Lawrence who’s trying nowadays to challenge Eddie Murphy for the prize of most obnoxious actor. Of course, the whole thing is not really original, you have the white guy, the black guy and they can’t get along but, somehow, they have to spend some time together and, at the end, they become best friends. Still, even though the whole thing was not really original, both actors worked well together and I was entertained from the beginning until the end. To conclude, it is actually a decent comedy and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.

Martin Lawrence has made a living combining his talented humor with that of a high profile on-screen counterpart. The duos he creates play such an important role in each of his films success and Nothing to Lose is no exception. This film is hilarious and entertaining as we follow a man at the end of his wits team up with a wannabe crook. Definitely worth a look.
