The Breakdown

  • Eddie Murphy at peak chaotic charisma
  • Practical car chases, zero CGI crutches
  • Fish-out-of-water laughs without moral lectures
  • Detroit grit meets Beverly Hills excess, done right
  • Sequel bait already baked into the ending

Side Effects

sudden urge to blast 'The Heat Is On' while speeding
