I had the misfortune to watch this last night on the BBC, I expect I may have been the only viewer. From the beginning there was something quite wrong about the movie, after a few minutes of viewing i managed to work out what it was. THE MOVIE WAS BAD! Not bad in a good way like Wolfpack or a Seagal film just plain old shoddy bad.
Why was this made into a movie? I've seen a few episodes of the TV series and thought it was alright but I only saw repeats of that because they made this.
I spent most of the film trying to work out what the story was and by the end I was none the wiser. I seem to remember at some point a character, maybe Farina's mentions that the Mod Squad can get in to places regular cops can't. The 'place' turns out to be a 'club', one of the toughest places to get into, maybe it was student night? I lost track of the plot at this point or maybe there was no plot and the movie was just chopped together from various leftovers from other TV series remakes.
Was it an action comedy? I don't remember any laughs.
Overall this movie lacked the real scene stealing power of someone like Seymour Hoffman as the bad guy. With him Ribisi would have had somebody to bounce off.

The Business. Its not a bad film,but at the same time its not a good one either. Watch this if your bored, but only with your mates so you can laugh at it.
The Playboy is a great character, and the curly haired chap with the nutter mullet is highly amusing, although i suspect he'd meant to be scary like Joe Pesci in Goodfellas.
It trys to be goodfellas but it just does not work. I can't really be bothered to write more on the subject, watch it your self and you might see what I mean. If you don't bother to watch this then its your own tough luck; you may be missing aht.
