An action-comedy about two mismatched New York City detectives, Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, who hadly see any action – one is happy to sit at his desk and file the paperwork, while the other has been put on the bench after a public incident involving a baseball game and his trigger-happy finger.
But when an opportunity arises to take down a fraudulent billionaire (Steve Coogan), they attempt to step up like the city's much loved top cops (Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson). From the director of Anchorman and Talladega Nights.

"The laughs ultimately take a backseat to a convoluted white-collar crime story."

Variety
Variety"The story confuses, but the characters engage, the action excites and the laughs are daft, clever and copious. A buddy-cop movie that’s capable of getting itself arrested."
—
Total Film
Total Film"Raises expectations that it has no real inclination to fulfill. The movie's best bits would stand alone nicely on YouTube, or on Funnyordie.com, the comic video boutique of which Mr. McKay is an owner and where he sometimes dabbles in short-form hilarity."

The New York Times
The New York Times"Silly, tasteless and very funny..."
—
The Guardian
The Guardian"Here the filmmakers are in fine fettle, which goes a long way to make much of the low-brow silliness and slapstick infectious."
—
Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"Nimbly blending comedy and action -- with an affectionate slo-mo nod to John Woo -- McKay does his best work to date here."
—
Hollywood Reporter
Hollywood Reporter"Skewers the action genre while also finding room for sheer madness. We've still yet to see the equal of Ron Burgundy, but this latest offering is a wonky yet worthy addition to the McKay/Ferrell pantheon."
