Wayans has been paid. But as someone who knows all about the constrictions of pigeonholing, he should be ashamed.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 26, 2022

Stealing the film, though, is the sassy, witty and always loud Jada Pinkett...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 10, 2022

Wayans can be funny, but an action hero he is not.

Wayans the screenwriter is largely to blame for the film's shortcomings, but Wayans the director does a solid job.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 28, 2009

In terms of action, Wayans the director relies too much on slow-motion in shooting action scenes -- a tiresome habit that undercuts the potential excitement of some sequences.

So far, so hackneyed.

The comedy is hit-or-miss, while Wayans proves to be a huge fan of Hong Kong action flicks, ripping off a number of action sequences from them.

Mr. Wayans is an agreeable screen presence, but he makes a surprisingly bland action hero.

Wayans isn't sure whether to send up Shaft and company or simply to remake the action thriller. The result is an embarrassing compromise.

Here is a movie about guns. Take away the guns, and the movie would be about nothing much.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 1, 2000

I'm not sure what type of movie this is supposed to be or who its audience is, but it's a low down dirty shame that Wayans' talent is wasted on this film.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Unfortunately, however, where I'm Gonna Git You Sucka was completely off the wall, A Low Down Dirty Shame is just off.
