Martin Lawrence plays a burglar who gets out of prison and impersonates a cop so he can retrieve his prize booty: a diamond the size of a chestnut, which is locked in a downtown Los Angeles police station. The movie is structured as a thief-out-of-water comedy, yet Lawrence acts like more of a real officer than Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop ever did. The movie actually prefers him that way. It's too in love with authority, with formula, to explode into a wild-ass celebration of a guy who trashes the rules.
