This espionage thriller has Anthony Hopkins as a CIA guy who recruits street hustler Chris Rock to replace his murdered identical twin in a key undercover assignment to recover a stolen nuke. This story also makes little sense, is the CIA really as inept as they often appear in this film? Or are the bad guys so dumb that they fall for these fake outs? Rock has a few amusing moments and Hopkins seems to be counting his paycheck and relishing the chance to mug for the camera and chew scenery. Overall, I'd say this film is another in the slow painful downward spiral of director Joel Schumacher ("Batman and Robin," "8mm" etc.). GRADE: D-
