i thought this was a great movie. i am not a big dabney coleman fan but he was funny in this.

the idea of the movie is that dabney coleman is a cop who is getting close to retirement. he is very careful, doesn't swear, eats healthy food and doesn't like to chase criminals if it puts himself in danger at all, especially now that he is so close to retirement.

but then he has a regular checkup with his doctor and discovers that he has a rare disease that can't be cured. he worries about his ex-wife and child so he checks out his insurance and finds out that they only get a huge payout on his life insurance if he dies on the job. so obviously he ends up all of a sudden taking huge risks like getting into car chases, fighting on the side of a building, confronting a maniac with a bomb, etc.

his partner is very funny too. this is a great comedy.
