CGiii Comment
If this is an example of Candy's comic genius...then, it goes without saying that he was definitely NOT a genius - in truth, he made, maybe, 2 okay films and this is not one of them.
It takes about 2 minutes for the temptation to switch off to hit - don't resist.
Idiotic.

The(ir) Blurb...
Dooley, a cop wrongly sacked for corruption, teams up with a useless defense lawyer in their new careers... as security guards.

They soon make enemies of everyone, but can the unlikely duo save the day?
