Brothers Ron (Ronald E. Smith II) and Ken Friday (Winston Green) are quite simply not the best cops on the force, which is a shame as their deceased dead was hailed as the city's top cop. Hoever, Ron and Ken don't hold a candle to their old man, which is wy Captain Amber (Karen Schwenk), who feels like a mother for them, has to constantly demote them, this time around to support the security officers at an upscale apartment complex. Ron, the older of the brothers is very ok with this as it means easy work while young hothead Ken sees this as an insult and starts to turn every stone in the complex to find anything that might need actual law enforcement. At the same time in a different part of town, billionaire Milo Stein (Emil Ferzola) has different kinds of problems. For his taste the prices for housing have gone up in the city  because it's so peaceful of late, and high-priced property isn't good for his business, So he sarts to supply gangster boss Carter (Kevin Williamson) with enough guns for a small army so he can start a gang war. He has these guns stored n one in one of the apartments under renovation in the very building complex Ron and Ken are working at - and of course, Ken stumbles upon them eventually, and boom, he has his case- Unfortunately though, the goons Stein has hired to guard the guns are pretty ruthless people ...

Now of course, in many ways this movie is a throwback to buddy cop movies from the 1980s and 90s, what with all the banter, the bromance (and they're actual brothers here, too), and the overall light-footedness of the thing. But Friday and Friday still easily holds its own as it doesn't just ape a formula but concentrates on writing a good story, filling it with poignant dialogue but also plenty of action, and even adding social commentary to the mix. And the two leads really have the right chemistry to make it work, and they're surrounded by a competent ensemble - so in all very good genre entertainment, that's for sure.
