Remember, these are law enforcement officers...why act like criminals? Any chick's dad who's a cop would be plenty scary enough, and far less demeaning. I was REALLy uncomfortable with both of those scenes. That said, there was plenty to divert my attention and get back to just having fun again. I liked the bullet-cam work and the stunts and action were all a lot of fun. I think JoBlo said (someone did, anyway) that this was "the definition of a popcorn flick"...and it is. If you're looking for a plot without holes, intelligent dialogue, or redeeming social messages, look elsewhere and hurry... If you want some funny lines and some cool explosions and are willing to watch this more like a rollercoaster and less like a "film", you'll get through it and not feel like you wasted your money. Mass market summer fare is for least common denominator appeal, be thankful they used more real stunts than CGI. Agreed. Matt
