Two mismatched rogues who hate each other are forced to work together to try and find a buried treasure, while a really nasty guy tries to track them both down to get the gold. One of our heroes knows the boatyard the treasure is hidden in, the other the name of the boat.
Christopher Lambert and Mario Van Peebles haven't exactly had glittering screen careers, and Denis Leary, the villain, probably enjoyed the peak of his film career in the mid 90s. But in this one they are all fun to watch. Van Peebles and Lambert have a certain chemistry on the screen that needs to be seen to be fully appreciated.
The film does go a little too far on the side of dirty in some scenes and stupidity in others. Patrick Stewart's presence is as ludicrous as his character's arc and demise.
In general this is well acted and directed and certainly not a bad movie. This is not essential film making by any means, but worth tracking down if you like action comedy buddy flicks that borrow the plot from classic westerns.
