I would really like to see one of those movies now where they identify the unknown guy by photo as a big time terrorist only this time it turns out he's a janitor in the local high school, then it can be one of those feel-good cop - unlikely partner action-comedy flicks, but only halfway through, the first part will be trying to catch the terrorist who keeps getting away from them by doing janitorial work at unexpected junctures.



Beverly Hills Mop 2


the janitor could be played by Ryan Reynolds, when they find out he is a janitor they don't believe it "you're too attractive" then he gets upset because being too attractive for being a janitor has kept him from getting promoted all these years.

Cop played by Samuel Jackson

the terrorist played by Ryan Gosling, "these guys don't even look alike"

response Samuel Jackson: they're both too good looking to be janitors.

Ryan Reynolds: why does everyone keep saying that!

later in the movie - Samuel Jackson - I have had it up to here with all these good looking white guys fing up the mf*ing facial recognition!

Idris Elba should be in this too. somehow.

on edit: maybe at the end Idris Elba is brought in as another person the facial recognition identified as the terrorist.

everyone is "how is this possible!"

Ryan Gosling: I don't know, he's pretty good looking, I'm kinda flattered.

Ryan Reynolds: yeah, the computer thinks I look like this guy, wow maybe I am too attractive to be a janitor!

The ask Idris Elba what he does for a living -

custodial technician.


It's easier to get money for a sequel of 24. But some movies with a minimally similar argument:

"Presumed Innocent" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100404/

"No way out" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093640/
