National Security
"Wild come brilliance!" -David Sheehan, CBS
When Martin Lawrence (Bad Boys) and Steve Zahn (Daddy Day Care) team up as security guards, no one's safe!
LAPD reject and major troublemaker Earl (Martin Lawrence) got L.A. cop Hank (Steve Zahn) kicked off the force for brutality. Now, these two guys who can't stand each other, are stuck working together as lowly security guards. And they're playing cops to bring down a smuggling ring-if they can stay alive and stay one step ahead of the real cops.
Co-starring Eric Roberts (The Specialist), National Security will take you on a wild ride with the most unlikely heroes ever to wear a badge.

Good film - Spacey
I enjoyed this movie but found that there was a lot of 'tongue in cheek' humour.
I enjoyed the pair up between Lawrence and Zahn, but felt that they lacked some on screen chemistry, or angst, between the characters.
I would have enjoyed it if the ending of the film was more realistic, (ie. Lawrence gets a new job out of the blue - without completing any training).
All in all a good film, but could have beet much better.surprise, surprise this movies half bad.. - movie_goer
Matin Lawerence kills this film into the ground with a Large fizzle. It's quite certian there will be no sequal. while Lawerence gasp for any comical relief instead making it stale, Steve Zahn struggles to perfect his unliked portrayal of a ex-police officer seeking vengence of his former partner. what a Disaster in the making, i had very few laughs, for this film it's main purpose is to give cheap thrills at the least, but instead gave me heart burn.HUMOUR IS BRILLIANT - JulioSof
Lawrence stumbles through a string of non sequitur and nonsensical jokes--he brags about his "periphery" vision--painfully reminding us why he is no Richard Pryor (his obvious role model). Lawrence, who mumbles many of his lines unintelligibly, is clearly out of sync in this role.
As the straight-arrow cop, Zahn provides the movie with a few genuinely funny moments, but he and Lawrence clearly have no chemistry together; their exchanges irritate rather than dazzle. Eric Roberts barely registers as a smuggler, while Bill Duke and Colm Feore as police brass are given too little screen time.
