    Good for some laughs. Levy steals this one. But the real laughs was that this was not filmed anywhere near Detroit. Michigan does not have front license plates, the city was way too clean and nobody calls it the "94 freeway," it's either "The Ford Freeway" or "I 94."

    It wasnt the greatest but it wasnt horrible either. At least I didnt feel that it was a waste of 2 hours. It was entertaining to a certain extent and I wouldnt put it on a pedistal. It was enjoyable for the first time, but its not a movie that you would run and see again.

    It was entertaining even though the plot was too simple and moronic from time to time.
