Bruce Willis gives good hangover in this New York thriller. He is a permanently drunk cop called Jack Mosley given the demeaning job of driving a petty thief played by Mos Def from the station house to the courtroom 16 blocks away. Screw-up that he is, Mosley fatefully pulls the car over to pick up an emergency bottle of booze, and it all kicks off from there. After a firecracker opening, the movie unwinds into credulity-stretching silliness, but not before Mos Def has uncorked his talkative prisoner act, complete with funky voice: Donkey to Bruce Willis's Shrek.
