To catch a mysterious drug lord, an uptight FBI agent is forced to team up with a Boston PD detective, who is not so particular about rules and regulations. This buddy action comedy is not terribly original, but it has great lead and supporting characters and, most importantly, it's very funny. Bullock and McCarthy work well together.
