- Chris Tucker’s Danny is proposed as weak link because his friend role overlaps Ronnie’s and his trips from Baltimore strain plausibility, not because of the performance.
- Others defend Tucker’s wounded, off-kilter performance, the destabilizing humor of his visits and his jailhouse-lawyer exchange with De Niro; a hoped-for dramatic lead career did not follow.
