Chasseurs de Primes

If you're looking for a movie that will make you laugh out loud and don't mind a lot of swearing, then "It's All About the Benjamins" is the perfect film for you. Starring Ice Cube as bounty hunter Bucum Jackson and Mike Epps as small-time thief Reggie Wright, this action comedy takes you on a wild ride through Miami's criminal underworld.

The chemistry between Ice Cube and Mike Epps is undeniable and their banter is side-splittingly funny. The two characters are constantly at odds with each other but have to team up to recover a stolen diamond worth millions of dollars. Along the way, they encounter a cast of eccentric characters including a ruthless gangster, a seductive con artist, and an overzealous security guard.

The action sequences are well choreographed and keep the pace of the movie moving quickly. But what really sets this movie apart is the humor. The jokes come fast and furious, and while some of them are a bit crude, they are all hilarious. The banter between Ice Cube and Mike Epps is top-notch, and the supporting cast is full of comedic talent as well.

However, it's important to note that this movie is not for kids. The profanity and violence are frequent and intense, and there are some sexual references as well. But if you're a fan of raunchy comedies and don't mind some adult content, then "It's All About the Benjamins" is a must-watch. Overall, this movie is a great time and will have you laughing from start to finish.

I'm afraid it took two times of me watching this to actually appreciate the film. It was quite good for a buddy movie. The comedy was there and so was the action. Mike Epps is a very funny guy. Ice Cube is always good at his characters. The plot was so so. It is kind of like some that have been done before but as for entertainment value it was fun. I would watch this again in hopes that I would laugh even harder the next time.

I was pretty surprised by this flick. It's an action film with a few shots of comedy that actually delivers where it counts. Ice Cube plays it pretty straight here (like all of his other movies, but that's why we love him), and Mike Epps seems to be channeling Chris Tucker. They play off of one another very nicely, though. The mostly formulaic storyline manages to throw them into some very interesting situations.

Of particular note are the "first black President" joke and the torture sequence. And of course, the Cube has his usual cheerful facial expressions glowing throughout the film. Truly, don't miss it.

All About the Benjamins (2002)

5 word summary

Enemies team up against criminal

A cool film. Ice Cube plays a similar character that he does in most of his films, the hard ass smart ass, but it works well with his role. Mike Epps also plays about the same as usual, but it also works really well. They both have pretty good comedic performances which along side the action directing makes a decent/ tolerable action comedy.

Its not a fantastic film by any means, and though I said they had good comedic performances, the acting wasn't that great. Personally I think Eva Mendes and Tommy Flannigan acted better, but they still weren't at their best. The directing and writing is also nothing special, it works here, but that's about all you can say about it

All about the Benjamins is a pretty average and predictable action comedy but it was fun and funny. If you are a fan of Next Friday and Friday After Next, you will probably enjoy this "fourth installment." It's very similar in style and definitely similar performances by Cube and Epps.

7/10

After sitting through "All About the Benjamins" it's a real enjoyable action/comedy. This is the story of a bounty hunter (Ice Cube, who also co-wrote with first-time screenwriter Ron Lang and co-produced) who's on the pursuit of a bail jumper ("Next Friday" co-star Mike Epps) and their footchase ends up at drop-off for a major diamond where the killers left a few dead bodies in the process. I'll admit Cube is really showing his talents as an actor, screenwriter, and producer. And, Epps, is real hilarious in this movie. Cubevision projects have been getting better. And, Ice Cube shows a lot more comedic talents than he did in the last two "Fridays". I also like the bad guys, especially the ring leader of the heist. I feel that this is one of the most plot-driven movies Ice Cube has done since "Players Club". And, if you look hard at "All About the Benjamins" it's not just an Ice Cube movie. It's an actor/screenwriter hard at work. But, only one thing this sounds more like a movie that would be released in the summer, not early spring.
