In the first five minutes of “Ride Along,” director
gives us a shootout, a car chase and a massive explosion. So if you’re
looking for brainless action, hop in. But if you’re aiming any higher,
you’ll probably want to find another ride.
The director seems to assume — probably accurately — that stars Ice Cube and already have enough fans to pack theaters. He lets his leads do what they do and doesn’t bother asking for more.
Cube (who was also in Story’s much funnier “Barbershop”) scowls and
growls as James, a longtime detective in the Atlanta Police Department.
And as his soon-to-be brother-in-law, Ben, Hart is manic and frantic.
