Actor Dax Shepard can take most of the credit for this wretched remake…he also wrote and directed it. He and Michael Peña play the cop duo who follow a hackneyed scheme about internal corruption. The typically trite mismatched coupling suffers from dumb exchanges, especially lots of sex-related banter (guess he’s trying to push the shock factor…another common trait to current R-rated comedies). The plot and characters are often confusing, not sure who’s on which side and what’s even happening. The only good thing about the whole mess is that the pace is snappy and the running time is only 100 minutes.
