File this cinematic misfire in the what-on-earth-were-they-thinking category.
Cedric the Entertainer relies on his modest comic charms to fill the oceanic plot gaps that open up around his janitor character Jake who wakes up with amnesia next to a dead FBI agent before flashbacks hint at his own identity as some kind of special agent.
Jake’s waitress friend Gina (Lucy Liu) comes to his rescue in helping him escape from a band of bad guys led by femme fatale Diane (Nicollette Sheridan).
Director Les Mayfield ("The Man") and screenwriters Robert Adetuyi and George Gallo should quit their day jobs after this indefensible clunker.
Rated PG-13. 91 mins.
