Kuffs, poli 'por casualidad'

Christian Slater plays a man who inherits a police district from his older brother who was gunned down , played by Bruce Boxleitner. apparently San Francisco didn't have enough police,, so there was like citizen patrols broken up into districts is how it was explained in the movie,, so he takes over the district , and trouble follows him everywhere, he has to be trained by his peers because he has no law enforcement experience,, his girlfriend is Milla Jovovich,, really young in this movie. Lots of chases,, funny one liners,, car chases, pretty funny movie,, it's slightly above average,, not Christian's greatest work,, but definitely watchable,, and full of laughs.

Christian Slater is the ne'er-do-well, yet the impressionalbly

hip title character in this decent action comedy. George Kuffs

is a high school drop out who decides to take over his dead

brother's police patrol and to avenge his death. Kuffs stumbles

his way to find to his brother's killers and manages to make a

real image of himself. Slater is fine as Kuffs, whose constant

joking around might have irritated the folks around him, but his

humor really paid off, in this comedy flick that might remind a

few Slater fans of his other avenger movie, "Gleaming the Cube,"

except "Kuffs" is way funnier and more good

This is one of the best action-comedy movies that I have ever seen. The movie is full of hilarious one-liners, and action too. The plot is very original, not like a scheme I have ever seen in a cop film before. Don't watch this movie expecting it to be like Lethal Weapon, this isn't a film to be taken seriously. It's about a young, renegade 20-year old who takes over a special police unit after his brother, who ran the unit, was killed. This is a good action-comedy that will keep you laughing through the whole film. And Milla Jovovich is in it to boot...yeah, I'm a guy, sue me.

This is a perfectly enjoyable light romp. Slater is very charming as the over his head young man that inherits his brothers security business. This is nothing more then enjoyable fluff. Slater fans may have overlooked this cute little movie.

"Kuffs" is a fun, slick action-comedy that you just appreciate for what it is. It doesn't even make an attempt to be a landmark cop movie like "48 Hours" or "Lethal Weapon," and that's what it makes it work. It's tongue-in-cheek and completely unpretentious. And Christian Slater is the glue that holds this film together. He's one of my favorite actors (who's quite underrated) and it's his credible, charming, charismatic performance that really makes this film tick. Though this is not one of his serious character roles, he seems to be having a lot of fun and really entertains us with his effervescent presence.

The moment you see Slater talking to the camera in the opening scene, you know this is not a movie to be taken seriously. In fact, this can even be classified as a farce. The material doesn't always seem suited for the big screen (more for the small screen in a TV cop show), but big screen or not it's damn entertaining. My only criticisms are a few cartoonish scenes which are just plain silly, one being Tony Goldwyn drinking coffee spiked with narcotics and stomping around like a Looney Tunes character.

Milla Jovovich is beautiful to look at, the humor is often fresh and funny, Slater is very entertaining and there's some exciting action to boot. Sounds good? It does to me.

My score: 7 (out of 10)
