Threat advisory: Low - Low risk of entertaining activities

Movie propaganda

If you can't trust your partner, who can you trust?

Bob (David Paymer) is a man with a plan. Having "borrowed" a state-of-the-art computer prototype from his former employers and organised a trade with Japanese buyers for $1 million, he starts out on the long journey to Los Angeles to meet his love.

However, his tactics unravel when he meets the mysterious drifter, Axel (Casper van Dien). A chaotic comedy of explosive errors ensues as Joe attempts to give Bob a crash course in crime... and as a shaky friendship is forged between the duo, they learn the true consequences of the deal made with the Japanese warlords.

Barrelling across the country from one mess to another and with a dogged bounty hunter in hot pursuit, these two highly unlikely partners deliver wry laughs and hard entertainment!

Theatrical report

Yuji sounds like he had speech lessons from Monty Python. He's a funny guy, which is why Partners was classified as a comedy. Apart from that, it's about as funny and exciting as Duets (ie it's just another run-of-the-mill flick made in order to make money to pay for bigger and better films in the next financial year).

Rent it on 2 for 1 night.
