This was surprisingly a lot of fun and holds up very well. It's not going to blow your mind, but you could do much worse with a couple of free hours on your hands.
Gene Hackman really ties this flick together -- the decision to cast him in this type of role is brilliant. Will Smith's performance is pretty much what you'd expect -- some people like his acting and some don't, but I thought he did pretty damn good here. The rest of the acting here ranges from mediocre to subpar. But don't let that deter you; Smith and Hackman take up most of the screen time. Their chemistry when on screen with one another is fantastic.
Oh, if you hate jumpy cuts, be prepared for those. There's a lot of them here.
