Chips (2017) – Review

A high-tempo’d comedy centering around a rookie highway patrol officer, Jon Baker (Dax Shepard), who is teamed with a hard-edged pro, Frank Poncherello aka Ponch (Michael Pena), despite not knowing that his new partner is actually an undercover FBI agent that is involved in the heist of a large amount of corrupt cops. A really entertaining and genuinely funny at times movie that is worth the one-hundred and one minute runtime. It’s worth noting that this review was based solely on the movie I watched at the time and not the TV series that this is known for.

Rating: 2.5 out of 5.
