Amazon.co.uk Review
Although it's enjoyable as a brainless diversion, National Security is one of those forgettable entertainments that denies its own considerable potential. It's a police action comedy in the mould of Beverly Hills Cop, tailored to the buddy-flick formula and laced with racial tensions of the post-Rodney King era. It's set in Los Angeles, where dedicated cop Hank (Steve Zahn) does jail time for allegedly beating Earl (Martin Lawrence), whose only real assailant was an overzealous bumblebee. As fate and lazy screenwriting would have it, the two adversaries reunite as security guards, teaming up to crack a team of violent smugglers led by bleached-blond Eric Roberts (further proof that this movie's got nothing new to offer). Routine stunts distract from the comedy's mostly untapped resource: Lawrence pointedly riffs on racial profiling, and his prolific ad-libs play well against Zahn's by-the-book straight man. If their partnership had been allowed to develop more believably, National Security might have been more than a blip on the box-office radar. --Jeff Shannon

I found this film to be a refreshingly funny film. So many films are being loosely badged as being comedies. This one is both visually and vocally funny. Some of the best lines are spoken quietly and off camera, so it is worth-while giving it your full attention. The humour was both offbeat and ingeneious. It had me in stitches. Definately NOT a film to watch whilst others are chatting in the background though. (Tell them that if they want to talk, go outside). You will NOT regret watching this film.

If you have seen film's such as Blue Streak or Big Mommas House then you will know that Martin Lawrence is a great and most of all funny actor. Basically in this film there are two cops. Hank get's 6 months in jail for assaulting another Officer Earl. He then loses his wife and also his best work mate. If things couldnt get worse Hank & Earl get jobs as security guards and find they end up working together. This is a great film worth to watch and to buy. A Must Have Must See Film! Top Stuff!!

Hysterical. A must for Martin Lawrence fans.
This is just hysterical. Martin at his absolute best. The film is silly, funny action packed and also pretty meaningful at times. Read more

there's a reason no professional critic looked at this kindly
it's not just that it it's half-baked and lame, it's not that the action set-pieces look like rejects from lethal weapon 3, it's not that Steve Zahn has more talent in one microbe... Read more

What the problem is?
I usually don't like Martin Lawrence and I find his anti-white humor to be quite offensive as well as his string of bad movies. Read more
