For the past two years, high-school security guard Ben has been trying to show decorated APD detective James that he's more than just a video-game junkie who's unworthy of James' sister, Angela. When Ben finally gets accepted into the academy, he thinks he's earned the seasoned policeman's respect and asks for his blessing to marry Angela. Knowing that a ride along will demonstrate if Ben has what it takes to take care of his sister, James invites him on a shift designed to scare the hell out of the trainee. But when the wild night leads them to the most notorious criminal in the city, James will find that his new partner's rapid-fire mouth is just as dangerous as the bullets speeding at it.
A fairly stock standard cop/buddy flick with one strong experienced cop and the other a rookie of sorts. There are some laughs though and Kevin Hart and Cube work alright together. Apart from trying to be comedic, Ramon, the kid Hart stops on the football field from going to drink instead of going to class, seemed to be pointless as it went nowhere at all. The 'racism' that seems okay if coloured actors are doing it is still okay for some reason. One or two scenes went too long and are predictable as well. 2.5-2/5
