Another big idea -- or "high concept," as it's known in the trade -- from the producers, most pertinently, of Beverly Hills Cop (Simpson and Bruckheimer). In fact, an even bigger idea. Exactly twice the size. Two black comedians (Will Smith, Martin Lawrence), not just one, in the roles of streetwise cops (an independently wealthy playboy and a devoted family man, respectively). The cutting is fast and flashy, so much so you often can't tell what's happening; the heavily filtered color gives the impression that you are looking through Ray-Bans; and no trace of a pulse can be found beneath the icy surface. With Tea Leoni and Tcheky Karyo; directed by Michael Bay. (1995) — Duncan Shepherd
