Earl and Hank have only one thing in common: they're both L.A.P.D. rejects. One just got kicked out, the other can't even get in. After confronting each other on opposite sides of the law during a traffic stop that escalates out of control, these two luckless individuals end up partnered as lowly security guards. Despite being damned to the lowest rung of the law enforcement ladder, Earl and Hank uncover a sophisticated smuggling operation led by Nash and his band of thugs. When Earl and Hank get their hands on some hot property, they go on the run from, first the bad guys, then the L.A.P.D.--led by Lt. Washington and Detective McDuff. What these two unlikely partners do to law enforcement is a crime, but they just might save the day. That is, if they don't kill each other first.
Two mismatched security guards are thrown together to bust a smuggling operation.
This is the first time I've seen Martin Lawrence. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and didn't take offence at any of the "supposed" racist remarks by Lawrence. I don't believe any of his lines WERE intended to be racist and I don't believe any rational or normal person could possibly take offence. And yes, IF it matters at all to anyone - it doesn't to me - yes, I'm white. Obviously, by his use of foul language, Derrick Dunn doesn't like this movie but he doesn't tell us why. I've read the Message Board postings for this movie and I can't believe people have got themselves so worked up on the subject of racism. It is billed as a comedy and that's exactly how I viewed it. I didn't try to analyse every word of every line, looking for some hidden meaning. I didn't watch the movie, constantly making comments such as "how ridiculous, that would never happen, etc etc." It's the same when I watch a James Bond movie - if you tried analysing it in detail you would still be here years later - I just watch it for entertainment - and that's how it is with this movie.
The two main characters work well together and I laughed frequently at their dialogue as well as some of the visuals they were involved in.
As a piece of light entertainment - and nothing more - this comedy is well worth watching. So much so, in fact, that I'm now ordering Blue Streak, in which Lawrence also appears. If he's half as good in that movie as he is in this, I'll be more than happy.
As we wait for platform releases of Academy Award hopefuls to emerge in smaller cities, studios subject us to their counter-programming, dumping upon us comedies that lack the comedy and offer the zzzzzzz's. National Security is the best release of the past two months that fits the above description.
Subtracting Lawrence, and the cheap action ineptness, from National Security would almost offer the audience a somewhat enjoyable hour and a half. Zahn has proved in his Independent Spirit Awarded performance in Happy, Texas that he can be funny. So why bring in a $20 million dollar deficit to start off with before filming even starts? Yes, Martin Lawrence is one of the highest paid comedians in Hollywood. Well, the answer is easy: the target audience of ages 12-25 wouldn't go to see a comedy about a cop's private investigation of his murdered partner. But add some cheap racial slurs and sex jokes and that $20 million should be accounted for in the first week or two. Always degrade the product for the paycheck.
Dugan, sticking to his PG-13 jests of directing Adam Sandler and Jack Black in Big Daddy and Saving Silverman, respectively, offers nothing new to the genre of action comedy. The screenplay is belittled to filler, separating each slow motion car crash from another. We forget the purpose of the action amongst tiresome `black man' jokes straight from the heart of Lawrence. Zahn, hiding his disapproval behind the ugliest moustache either side of the Mississippi, provides a sense of emotion to his role and the only humanistic value to the whole production. Laughing at National Security is like laughing at a child's immaturity; the more you do it, the more it encourages them. But the loudest laughter will come from Lawrence via his eight-figure paycheck.
** out of ****
A funny, raucous action comedy, effectively teams Martin Lawrence and Steve Zahn in a film that's both laugh out loud funny and surprisingly subtle.
