As far as Eddie Murphy is concerned, he better start seriously moving the ball on Beverly Hills Cop [...]
Year One wants it’s audience to believe it’s Agent Sands at the end of Once Upon A Time In Mexico. The film blindly fires it’s comedy at us, hoping things will hit us and evoke mountains of laughter.
