Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

zatoichi101 Will this movie win any awards? No. But it wasn't meant to. These reviews are absolutely brutal! This was a simple, fun movie!!! Nothing too deep -- just a fun ride!! I liked it! And every single scene with David Rasche in it is absolutely HILARIOUS!! He stole every scene!! Rache's drug-induced rant as he puts a gun to the head of a guy who just tried to rob Dudley Moore is worth the price of admission all by itself!! "Man, man, our society is, like, going down in tubes unless we get involved and blow these m*&^%f&^^ers away!" LOL!!! And his scene in the sushi restaurant with Moore is priceless!! Were there some Luke warm moments? Sure. But overall, this was a simple fun ride and I thought it was just fine!! (I even own the DVD!) If you're looking for Academy Award stuff, though -- you'll need to look further.

disdressed12 i'm not sure how else to say it.the above summary pretty much describes my feelings on this movie.add to that,lots of crude language for no apparent reason,and you have the recipe for a bad movie.there is some language that Christians might be offended by.***possible minor spoiler***Dudley Moore and Eddie Murphy appear in this movie,but as far as i know,they don't share any scenes together.at least they didn't through the forty minutes i was able to watch before quitting.***end of spoiler***.I found Murphy more annoying than anything,and Moore didn't really leave much of an impression at all.in all pretty much a waste of time.pretty close to awful,in fact.for me,Best Defense is a 2/10

jfstan-3 An ironic aspect of this otherwise indigestible flop is that the final concept, although created as a desperate, expos facto attempt to inject life into the film, might have actually worked, had it been in the plan from the beginning.Although the future plot line (or present, according to how you wish to perceive it) involving Murphy was filmed later, the concept of one plot line's actions having a direct result on another in the future could have been interesting. All it needed was a script, production values, creative foresight and inspired performances by the actors. This film, unfortunately, had none of the above.Moore is convinced that a device slated to be installed on a tank is defective in its design, and must try to fix it before it's built and put into use. Two years in the future, sure enough, Murphy is driving a tank which uses this very device. Will Moore improve the design in time to save Murphy's life? Well, it's little confusing to flash back and forth between these plot lines, but they do manage to culminate into a semi-climactic moment, but much too late to save the viewer from mindless boredom.

phillafella BEST DEFENSE is a desperately unfunny comedy starring Dudley Moore and Eddie Murphy. Moore is an enigineer who is designing a new tank. Murphy is an Army soldier who takes the tank into combat in Kuwait. Dreary acting is not the only bad thing that comes out of this sorry turkey. After a failed test run, the filmmakers thought they could save grace by adding Murphy to the cast, but that only made things worse with plot holes and a nonsense story, resulting in one of the biggest mistakes ever.0 out of 5
