Quotes:

Vincent Benedict: I got another six hours to pay the money. Tell the Klane brothers that harassing a man who already is in the slammer is beneath even them.

Jolly good fun.

Funny film and convincing acting from both De Vito and Schwarzenegger. The story itself seems a bit far-fetched although this is compensated by lots of hilarious moments and situations. The fun comes mainly from De Vito, he's at his best here. And if you don't like Schwarzenegger's action films - try this comedy! You'll sort of like him!
