National Security

Steve Zahn spends most of National Security with a seething expression of exasperation on his face. As a cop who gets stuck working a case with an annoying security guard (Martin Lawrence), he’s supposed to be in character, but watching Lawrence gyrate and yammer incessantly had to make this the easiest acting job Zahn’s ever had.
