Review

A cop who is not very succesfull in his career wants to catch bank robbers, but sadly he is kicked out from police. He still does not want to give up and with a taxi driver who was driving him to one robbery scene when he had lost his driving license they want to continue their investigation of the criminals.

This was funny and enjoyable easy to watch kind of movie. Its story was fine, protagonist grows up on his journey and all the basic elements of movie were done well. Action scenes had feeling of action and it was not ruined with too fast edits like more modern films too often seems to be.

One thing what I did not liked was its wokeism. All smart and cool characters are female and males are mostly just useless losers who cannot do almost anything without the help of woman. I find that kind of stereotypical characters just lame. Of course it is not annoying when there is only one character that way, but when it is a common them where you can feel the "you go girl!" -vibes so clearly it just feels cringe.

All in all, without that negative side I enjoyed this movie. It was fun and enjoyable good mood movie.
