"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
Who's the Man? | 1993 | R | - 0.5.8
Ed Lover and Dr. Dre from MTV's "Yo MTV Raps"star as two barbers who reluctantly join the police force and find themselves fighting a powerful and corrupt developer in this rap-heavy comedy. Parents concerned about rap lyrics should proceed with caution.
SEX/NUDITY 0 - None. Lots of talk about sex but there are no sex scenes and no nudity.
VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - Two bodies -- one is blown up in an explosion, but before the explosion we see the character lying in a pool of blood. Another character is found shot to death, covered with blood. Some fist fights and gun waving. A few houses are deliberately set on fire.
LANGUAGE 8 - Lots and lots. The F-word is used several times and rather than coming from the mouths of rappers, it mostly comes from a character who plays a police sergeant. A number of other assorted profanities, from the scatological to the anatomical and sexual. "Pig" is used a few times for cop.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Greed, murder, stealing, arson, smuggling, alcohol abuse.
MESSAGE - Standing up for what you believe in, and supporting one's community.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
