Bottom Line:
     **

Coverage:

     Wayans plays Shame, a tough talking, wise-cracking P.I. who was kicked off the police force after a botched drug bust. Years later, Shame is retained by DEA agent Rothmiller (Charles Dutton) to find $20 million in missing drug money and a chance for a personal revenge against the man who set him up in the botched drug raid.
     Wayans wrote and directed this action-comedy, which becomes a little uneven at times. During some of the more violent scenes, it's hard to tell whether the audience should be laughing or cheering. Wayans needed to decide whether to make a comedy or an action/drama.
     Jada Pinkett, a terrific actress, straight out of Jason's Lyric, is Wayan's fast-talking side kick. Pinkett's great one-liners are what really keep the film afloat.
