National Security (2003) 6/10

Starring : Martin Lawrence, Steve Zahn, Colm Feore, Bill Duke, Eric Roberts
Director : Dennis Dugan
Running Time : 86 mins

Hank Rafferty (Zahn) gets sent to prison for police brutality when he tries to save Earl Montgomery (Lawrence) from being stung by a bee. Once he's released from prison he has to settle on a job as a security guard as the police won't take him back, but who should turn up as his partner but Earl!

This film made me cringe a lot. Lawrence's character is the biggest racist ever, which makes me think that in reality he must be the most tolerant man alive (or the biggest racist, it's hard to say), and I felt so sorry for Zahn as the hapless Hank. Inspite of these facts, there were still a few comedy moments, and Lawrence's racism did garner a few chuckles along the way.
