I actually thought Marky Mark, and all the cops for that matter, were really stereotypical "hollywood" cops, and it sort of turned me off for brief periods.

He did give a great performance. I include this as one of three films (that I know off the top of my head) that Marky Mark does well in, and are actually worth a damn. I enjoyed this, Boogie Nights and I Heart Huckabees, but I can't think of any other films of his that didn't really suck. Am I forgetting one?


"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."
