Synopsis:

Nick Blades (Adam Copeland) is a roguish New Orleans' cop who is under trial for an alleged corruption. His adversary, Theo Gold (Jamie Kennedy), a district attorney who is ready to take him down. However, after some series of incidents, these two would eventually help each other.


Reaction:
 
The trailer of this film does not tell much about its plot. It is like a one man film focused entirely on Adam Copeland with his roguish smile, charming, cool ways in handling troubles. In terms of acting, Adam "Edge" Copeland may not match the acting capabilities of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, also a fellow wrestler who has made a name for himself in several Hollywood films. Adam needs more facial expressions to be highly believable in his role. In fairness, he can pull out some jokes smoothly. Jamie Kennedy is simply funny and not overrated. Jennifer Esposito got a small exposure in this film and not a memorable character at all.

This buddy type of film is quite common in Hollywood films. Its ending is predictable but I can say that it has its happy moments and even some light drama. If you are a huge fan of Adam "Edge" Copeland or wrestling itself, then this movie is for you. All in all, it is not the best buddy film for me but it is quite entertaining . I would rate this as 4 out of 10.
