Not funny and not exciting
Jack Moony (Bob Hoskins) is a racist loudmouth white cop. He is still in love with his ex Crystal Gerrity (Chloe Webb) who is now a working girl. Napoleon Stone (Denzel Washington) is a lawyer with questionable clients who gets gunned down. Jack Moony suffers a heart attack, and finds that he’s given Napoleon’s heart. Now Napoleon’s ghost haunts him and together they solve his murder which Crystal is the key to.

Writer/director James D. Parriott doesn’t have the writing skills for a comedy. Denzel is good as a slick lawyer, but his urban shtick sounds silly. He and Hoskins have great acting skills, but they aren’t funny together. I get the sense that Denzel is suppose to be Eddie Murphy. Obviously Denzel is no Eddie Murphy. As an action thriller, there isn’t enough action and it’s not very thrilling. I would recommend this only for die-hard fans of either Denzel Washington or Bob Hoskins.

A Strange Movie
This little known fantasy action comedy released in 1990 is most notable for being an early screen appearance of Denzel Washington. Savaged by critics upon release, it has the distinguished honor of being one of a handful of films with a stunning 0% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes. Misunderstood by critics and audiences alike at the time it came out, I think this film deserves to be reappraised. It’s a great film, entertaining, funny, interesting for the concept alone, and maybe even a little moving depending on the mood you’re in.

This film is weird though, for sure. It tries to be a little bit of everything: A buddy cop movie, a comedy, a romantic drama, and an action movie. It actually succeeds, at least somewhat, even if it’s not perfect. I totally get the hate for this movie, I understand why it was savaged, and maybe it’s just my love of Denzel that makes me soft to this, but I didn’t mind it.

This film occurred during Denzel’s strange string of films during his rise to success in the 80s and 90s. Denzel was obviously being nudged in the action star direction by his agent, which makes sense looking at his early career. It seems like for every successful, important film he did, he did another less successful, more exploitative action/thriller film; Mo’ Better Blues/Heart Condition (1990), Mississippi Masala/Ricochet (1991), Much Ado About Nothing/The Pelican Brief (1993), Devil in a Blue Dress/Crimson Tide/Virtuosity (1995), He Got Game/The Siege (1998), The Hurricane/The Bone Collector (1999). Notice the pattern? Basically Denzel made a lot of great underrated films on his rise to success.

Bob Hoskins and Denzel Washington are both great in their roles, and Denzel is definitely likable even if his character is supposed to be sleazy and despicable. Hoskins isn’t exactly likable, at least until halfway through the movie, but he does grow on you, and both actors definitely elevate the material above a dumb made-for-TV piece of crap.

This is described as an action comedy, but it’s definitely more of a comedy with action in it. There’re two action scenes, the car and foot chase in the beginning, and the final shootout. In between it’s basically comedic dialogue and romantic drama. The film’s drawn-out climax definitely feels like it belongs in another movie, and Hoskins isn’t the first actor I’d’ve picked to see in a shootout (then again, I wouldn’t’ve picked Denzel to play an obnoxious but funny ghost).

The movie’s main problem is its tonal shifts. Any genre-hybrid movies will often have this problem, and this film does too. A light fantasy comedy sometimes, a heavy drama at others, and the violent climax all don’t fit incredibly well-together, but it’s fun so who cares? It just gave itself too many things to juggle at once, and a film shouldn’t have to work too hard to achieve its purpose.

You have to go into this movie with low expectations, like me, and you’ll probably be surprised, or you just have to be in a good mood.
