An average movie

When I was a kid, I saw ‘White Men Can’t Jump’ and it really impressed me. Indeed, first of all, it must be one of the coolest titles ever created and, secondly, I had never seen such a dark tale about sports. Surprisingly, I have never re-watched since then but I did bump into the other movie Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson would make together 3 years later. Obviously, it is something entirely different. Indeed, it is a rather basic action flick ‘à-la-Die-Hard’ with some buddy cops involved. Fortunately, Harrelson and Snipes still had some good chemistry and the whole thing was pretty entertaining. Back in those days, Jennifer Lopez was not yet a huge star and was stuck as the love interest but it was one of her better movies in my opinion. Apparently, while ‘White Men Can’t Jump’ was positively received, this movie got some pretty lousy reviews and was almost a bomb at the box-office. Of course, this movie was weaker, absolutely, but still, I thought it was actually a decent action flick and I was fairly entertained throughout the whole thing. Anyway, even though it is indeed nothing mind-blowing whatsoever, I thought it was not bad at all and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
