Chris Rock simply being Chris Rock in this fact about this movie:

When Jake (Chris Rock) is dining with Nicole (Garcelle Beauvais) in Prague, he says, "I'll eat a pig's ass if they cook it right." This is a line from his 1996 HBO special.

Review:

I have to be honest about this particular movie, yes it is a cheesy classic and very cliche action movie, yes it has too many stereotypes and bad jokes.I wouldn't call it very good in any case, it's average to pretty bad I would say was probably the hilarious performance by Chris Rock and the chemistry he actually had with Anthony Hopkins,I truly loved them in this movie.Joel Schumacher I know you don't make such great films especially the action movie ones(compared to the ones I've seen so far),but this particular one was again a clichéd failure, I would say to you... you could have done much better.It's a simple action movie with several well-known actors, if you want to see it that's it, there's nothing interesting and unreal...so simple, if you don't like such movies just don't watch it.

I have an interesting relationship with Director Joel Schumacher. The man has made many movies, quite a few that I've enjoyed but never really a good one. Sure he has some movies like lost boys or A time to kill, but neither are really that Great. Other than a few decent ones, he's made a bunch of very very bad movies. Despite his very mixed often disappointing filmography, I really like him and get kinda excited when i see his name.

My expectations weren't high despite being Joel Schumacher as director. While excited to see another Schumacher film, I still knew what is was going into. But even then the movie maneges to disappoint. There is absolutely zero interesting things to say about this movie. It could've been made by anyone, starring anyone scored by anyone, it wouldn't make a difference. This movie is so flat and unimaginative in every way.

Anthony Hopkins is by all means fine, but he doesn't make his scenes any better. He seems to be sleeping through some of his scenes. Even the often very energetic Chris Rock seemed tired and uninterested in half the scenes. There is no vision behind this movie. It lacks comedy and it lacks action. So it fails as both an action movie, a comedy movie and as a combination of both. I would say it could still provide entertainment on a lazy Sunday but i don't even know if that true. The movie is 30 minutes too long so almost everyone would probably be half asleep by the end

Still not as good as Anthony Hopkins saying, "This isn't Mission: Difficult, Mr. Hunt, it's Mission: Impossible."
