It was a fun escapist movie. The beginning was overacted by Wyle, but after that he settled down and gave a good performance. Sonya Walger was excellent as his partner and body guard. Good performances all around (Kyle MacLachlan, Kelly Hu, Bob Newhart, Olympia Dukakis, and Jane Curtin). The fight scenes were unbelievable, but most of the movie was tongue-in-cheek anyways, so it could be overlooked. Good comedy sequences spread thoughout the movie.

It's an interesting concept and more movies may be made in the future or even going to series. When it was in development, many observers thought it would be a hit and TNT ordered another movie based on the ratings. Watch it if TNT ever decides to reair it.
