If... Martin Lawrence and Adam Sandler [were] in the same movie, it might... create an anti-comedy field so strong that both their careers would be sucked into the vortex...January 18, 2003
Someone has to save us from Lawrence's onslaught of cinematic dross.January 18, 2003
A lame blend of comedy and action in which both credibility and laughs are blown to smithereens.January 31, 2003
It's too bad Martin already made What's the Worst That Could Happen? The title really fits this one.January 17, 2003

Put your hands up and back away from this rent-a-flop.September 06, 2003

Despite some tasty contributions from Lawrence and Zahn, too much of National Security has the bland flavor of microwaved leftovers.December 26, 2010
Indistinguishable dumb action comedy.
