directed by Emilio Estevez
James (Estevez), Carl (Sheen), and their supervisor (Keith David) find the body of city councilman Jack Berger while they are doing their job, picking up trash. They suspect that Susan, their neighbor and Berger's campaign manager, might have something to do with it. They are pursued by the real assassins who have come back to get something they missed. They run into a couple of inept police officers, play practical jokes on a couple of their coworkers, kidnap a pizza delivery person, and lug Berger's body around with them. They eventually cross paths with Maxwell Potterdam III, who had Berger killed when he threatened to blow the whistle on Potterdam's illegal hazardous waste disposal company.
I've seen this movie before. I remember enjoying it. This movie is a weird ride. There are a number of transitions that make no sense at all. I enjoyed it this time around. It isn't great. It isn't a long movie but the first third of it is spent setting things up. The councilman's dead body doesn't show up until almost 30 minutes into the movie. I remembered some scenes from this movie but I had no recollection of the bad guy or how it all wound down.
