I like Queen Latifah, and some of the cast, but the script is a dog. If it were led by Angela Bassett in her prime, even then, it couldn't be saved and would still be a dog.
On the acting front, the lead detective leaves a lot to be desired, and the characters of the hacker and his sniper wife are a pure mess.
Perhaps, if they leaned into the comedy, it wouldn't feel as abysmal as it does, but as it is, the self-seriousness of some of the characters and the absence of any semblance with reality, make this one to avoid at all costs. Or if you erased 'the hacker' from the cast, you could require the scriptwriters to construct believable stories and step away from the use of science fiction to move the plot forward.
In any event, hopefully this ends soon, and Queen Latifah finds something else more worthy of her time.
