They only look like cops.

ActionComedyCrime

Earl Montgomery, a bombastic police academy reject, and Hank Rafferty, a disgraced, mild-mannered cop, can't seem to escape each other. They met on opposite sides of the law during a routine traffic stop that escalated out of control; now as lowly security guards they're thrown together to bust a smuggling operation.

VIBE

Expect a high-octane, laugh-out-loud ride filled with mismatched personalities and escalating chaos. It's a boisterous, feel-good action-comedy that thrives on its leads' clashing energies, delivering a consistently entertaining, if predictable, romp through urban antics and improbable heroics. Perfect for unwinding.
