Finally got around to seeing this, after it languished in my "to watch" pile for a few weeks. Much better then expected. Sure, very cliché plot and some quite dodgy acting by anyone who isn't Michael Jai White or Esai Morales, but quite nicely choreographed fights and that is what this type of film is all about, so I give this a passing grade.
Also, my region 2 dvd has a runtime of 97 minutes, not 81 as Ians blurb lists above. Is the R1 cut or something?

Since I am a DVD/Blu shopoholic, I got a discount offer at my regular online shop, and pre-ordered this and Kindergarten Cop 2 for 2/3 of the listed price each. Yeah. I need to see someone about this.....

That said, there is about 99% probability of me getting this.
