The combination of a reasonably grounded (over the top action aside) action thriller and absolutely ridiculous identity confused farce surprised me, but it works tolerably well. The film shines whenever Smith and Lawrence get to bicker or jibber-jabber, but is unfortunately otherwise a bit rote. I found some quite memorable lines and character moments sprinkled throughout it made it worth my while, though.

There are times I totally enjoy this film, and others where I cannot watch the violence, but I do enjoy the interplay between the characters played by Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.
