What they share

Theysit in Comedy / Crime territory. If that's the register that drew you to Identity Thief, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Hard Way is

Here's a film that seems to think pairing a comedian with a dour action lead is always a good idea. A star shadows a cop for a role, but his method acting interferes with a serial killer case. At least someone thought of a plot to justify the mismatched buddy routine.
