Don't Hire Martin Lawrence for Your Security

by Dbbum Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jan 21 '03
Pros: Some Lawrence comedy was funny, entertaining on a snowy day with nothing else to do
Cons: Shotgun blasted plot, to many non-funny racial jokes, bad screenplay
When I first saw the previews to National Security I figured it would be another "Bad Boys" type movie which Martin Lawrence did a few years back with Will Smith. Sure enough National Security can be considered a mix of "Showtime & Bad ...

National Suckfest

by movie_critic , Jan 17 '03
Pros: it finally ended
Cons: not funny, horrible, plot, terrible acting, the list continues
Here is a sample of some of Martin Lawrence's dialogue from "National Security," a brainless movie shamefully written by Jay Scherick and David Ronn:

"Man I'm cold, I can see the light. Even the light is white!"

"You think I'm...

National Security: Lawrence + Zahn = BAD

by Candice923 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Sep 14 '03
Pros: Steve Zahn is okay (and I usually HATE him)
Cons: HORRID script, TERRIBLE pacing, LOUSY characters
My husband and I enjoy watching movies. Let me correct that: My husband and I enjoy watching movies at home. It seems as though every weekend, we go to Blockbuster and rent a few movies. Two weeks ago, we rented Bringing Down The ...

Martin Lawrence's National Security: What The Problem Is?

by roheblius Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jan 21 '03
Pros: Steve Zahn's angry and zany Rafferty
Cons: We've seen it done funnier and better before
If you've been reading my reviews for the past years, you'll know that I've been a die hard Martin Lawrence fan. You want proof? I have almost every episode of his show Martin with the exception of about 5 and they were all in the pitiful final...

Relax...It's Just A Movie

by dlockeretz , Feb 06 '03
Pros: Funny if heavy-handed social satire
Cons: Predictable action, unconvincing side-plots, inconsistant with humor
"National Security" will never go down in history as one of the great comedies. The satire is predictable, the dialogue is rather formulaic and the plot is choppy. But the scathing reviews that I've been reading make me wonder if people simply have...

I dream of Axle Foley

by pugslyaddams , Aug 07 '03
Pros: Steve Zahn, not too distracting while making out
Cons: Martin Lawerence's tired schtick, poor directing, lame-o stunts, Eric Roberts
Martin Lawerence... His name is rather infamous. I'm not sure why but I have some guesses. Yet again ...

We all need some National Security.

by ryan_mtc , Dec 12 '03
Pros: Good movie. Good action to it with a dash of comedy equals good movie.
Cons: Not one of the best Martin Lawrence movies I've seen.
National security for me was a good movie...but I like most movies Martin Lawrence is in. This one however is one of a kind with a little bit of Bad Boys mixed in as well. Here's how the story goes. Hank is a LAPD officer and he and his partner are ...

National Security...right...go see Just Married.

by beachblonde16 , Jan 19 '03
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Everything. Racist jokes very 52 seconds.
When I first saw previews for this movie, it looked like it could be great. Then i went to the opening show, and i walked out of it...only laughing once.

The acting in the movie wasn't the best i've ever seen. The plot was kinda dull as well....

arrived bored, left suicidal

by eroded , Apr 16 '03
Pros: struggling to find any, maybe the music?
Cons: bad racial humor, mics bouncing on screen,stunts not hidden,waste of money
We were led to believe that the film would be funny and worth watching. The humor was that I would expect of a really cheap children's film.(sorry for any offense to children)

After seeing a lot of films with Martin Lawrence I would expect...

National Security : National Flop

by a_77_foxtrot , Jan 18 '03
Pros: Martin
Cons: Predictable Racist Choppy
In the beginning you believe they are both cops, and after a partner is killed, they would be teamed together. Far from this, one is in school, and screws up big time. Believes that everyone puts him down because he is black. Won't let others tell him...

National Security

by tennisgal , Jan 20 '03
Pros: funny, adventurous, great cast
Cons: sometimes disgusting
National Security was overall a good movie. The story was really good and Martin Laurence was very good in his role. The movie is changing every second. Once you think you know whats happening it changes. The characters really come alive you feel...

Absolute crap

by i_hate_myself , Jan 25 '03
Pros: None
Cons: Waste of time Martin Lawrence
Apparently repeating one phrase, trying to make it catch on as a catch phrase is the funniest thing people can come up with now. Martin Lawrence has never been funny, isn't funny, and will never be funny.

Making fun of white people is his...

National Security

by mikesreviews , Apr 17 '03
Pros: ‘National Security’ is all that one would expect from Martin Lawrence (action and humor).
Cons: There are too many racist jokes.
Story: ‘National Security’ is a funny buddy-cop movie for people who are looking for a good laugh. The movie begins with Hank Rafferty (played by Steve Zhan, Joy Ride) on a case with his partner. When his partner gets shot, Hank vows to find his...
