Bounty hunter Bucum Jackson (Ice Cube) teams with the small-time con artist, Reggie Wright (Mike Epps), that he is pursuing, in an attempt to locate a missing stash of diamonds and a lottery ticket worth millions of dollars. Bucum and Reggie find themselves in a race to the finish as they embark on an unlikely partnership that should -- when all is said and done -- prove beneficial to them both.

Critics Consensus

A sloppy, poorly directed action-comedy, All About the Benjamins is too derivative and gratuitously violent.

Violent film for Ice Cube. He can do better.

2/4

The home-run performances of Cube and Epps are handicapped by inept and illogical action sequences.

They failed to get a consistently funny script or a director capable of effectively staging an action scene.

Growing up in this era I am admittedly nostalgic for this film, but I was shocked to see a 76% popcorn. It feels like most of the 2000s comedies I see on here are vastly underrated, so I was pleasantly surprised to see so many people showing love.

The Comedic Dynamic of Cube and Epps will ever be entertaining, plus the action and humor is notable enough to remember but some might call it weak in plot and formula of a decline of once popular "buddy" films in the 90s and Early 00s.

Filme legalzinho, o roteiro é bacana, o filme mostra bucum que caça ladrões, e tenta pegar reggie e por conta de um detalhe bucum se junta com o reggie para ir atrás de robert williamson, por causa de joias falsas depois bucum e reggie pegam as joias verdadeiras, e depois eles entregaram para williamson, quando williamson fugiu com as pedras verdadeiras, os dois foram ao local onde estavam williamson e renderam ele e sua namorada, depois uma cena chocante williamson matou sua própria namorada que foi feita de refém por bucum e depois no barco, quando williamson bateu a cabeça ele voltou e bucum matou williamson com vários tiros e depois no final bucum fica amigo de reggie e reggie fica com o bilhete da loteria, com tudo isso, eu recomendo esse filme, vale a pena assistir.
