Editorial Reviews

Courtney B. Vance stars in this screwball romantic comedy as Eddie Jones, a devout Catholic who is committed celibacy. He is also a trained killer for the Eliminator Corp; a shadowy government organization dedicated to wasting society's undesirables. He reconciles his beliefs and his career by telling himself that he has been empowered by God to rid the country of sinners and scum. Sensing that her underling could use some fun, Eddie's boss, known only as the Middleman (Kathleen Turner), sets him up on a blind date with the radiate Lois Newtorn (Regina King). The tenacious Lois is struck by the gloomy loner and sets about trying to break Eddie's vow of chastity and his homicidal line of work. In the process, Eddie begins to rethink his life, much to the dismay of his boss. Jason Alexander and Ed Asner also appear in this debut effort by writer-director Dwayne Johnson-Cochran.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good movie, July 21, 2002

All I know is that the soundtrack caught me just as much as the movie. After the first three or four cuts, I was like I got to have the soundtrack! And being a courteous fan of Regina King, by the first few scenes featuring her, I wanted the movie! Courtney held his own as well! All I know, furthermore, is that before the movie was half way over, I wanted both!

It was a great movie although the ending became predictable; but I didn't care because the solid R&B soundtrack carried the movie by this point. They complimented each other. While the movie is readily available, does anybody have the soundtrack?...LOL!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great show, September 23, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Love and Action In Chicago (DVD)

I stumbled upon this great film while channel cruising and would not stop watching until I found out the title. This film showed a different, but wonderful side of the usually very serious, very conservative Courntey, but it showed that he is even great in comedy. The pairing of Courtney and Regina was suberb, they really flowed together as a couple. The chemistry between them was on the money.
