ROBERT DE NIRO AND EDDIE MURPHY TEAM IN 'SHOWTIME'
![]() |
year: 2000 cast: Robert DeNiro, Eddie Murphy,William Shatner score: *** |
Not Eddie Murphy – but his character Trey Sellers wants to be part of a popular reality series TUFF COPS and doesn’t have the acting chops to make the cut. Till he foils an important bust led by DeNiro's Preston, which is captured on the local news – and the reality show, headed by producer Rene Russo, sees a rising star in the gruff veteran cop.

Which all sounds more clichĂ© and banal than it actually is. Despite the dĂ©jĂ vu – we’ve seen this template a million times – SHOWTIME is surprisingly involving despite the fact it’s not drop on the floor funny like Murphy's older movies, and we all know De Niro deserves better. But the characters, if anything else, will keep you invested in the outcome
