A Low Down Dirty Shame is an action-comedy movie from 1994 that stars Keenen Ivory Wayans, Charles S. Dutton, and Jada Pinkett Smith in leading roles. This movie was directed and written by Keenen Ivory Wayans, who is known for his work on other notable comedies like In Living Color and Scary Movie. The plot of this movie revolves around Shame (played by Keenen Ivory Wayans), a former LAPD detective turned private investigator. He teams up with his former colleague, Rothmiller (played by Charles S. Dutton), to solve a series of crimes that are all connected to a drug dealer named Mendoza (played by Andrew Divoff).

This movie starts on a high note as Shame is shown rescuing a woman from the clutches of a drug lord, only to abandon her the next day after suspecting that she was playing him. However, when he is hired to find a former criminal turned informant, named Mendoza, he finds himself embroiled in a dangerous adventure that seems to have no end.

Shame is not alone in his quest, as he teams up with Rothmiller, his former partner in crime. Rothmiller is a straight-edged police officer who Shame could never get along with on the force. The two have a rocky relationship due to their past experiences, but they work well together, despite the initial tension. Together, they set out to track down Mendoza and take him down in a big way.

The movie takes the audience on a wild ride as Shame and Rothmiller face a series of challenges that includes shootouts, car chases, and even some martial arts fights. Along the way, they meet up with a small-town girl, Angela (played by Jada Pinkett Smith), who has an agenda of her own but eventually joins them on their mission.

The chemistry between the three protagonists adds a layer of depth to the movie. Keenen Ivory Wayans is at his comedic best as Shame, playing a character who is suave, funny, and sassy all at once. Charles S. Dutton is the perfect foil to Shame's exuberance, bringing a sense of calmness and wisdom to their partnership. Jada Pinkett Smith, meanwhile, holds her own in a predominantly male movie, as a sharp-witted, street-smart woman who can take care of herself.

One of the highlights of the movie is its action. The chase scenes are incredibly thrilling and the fight sequences are expertly choreographed. The movie mixes humor and action in perfect proportions, so there's never a dull moment. Every time the action seems to slow down, the movie injects some witty one-liners or some hilarious physical comedy.

The movie has an excellent soundtrack, which compliments the action and humor perfectly. The score features 90s rap and hip-hop music that was popular at the time, creating an atmosphere that is both cool and upbeat. The music matches the tone of the movie perfectly, which adds to the film's overall excellence.

Overall, A Low Down Dirty Shame is a funny and entertaining movie that is perfect for fans of action and comedy genres. The movie has everything you need for a great night in, with plenty of laughs and thrilling action sequences. The movie is proof of Keenan Ivory Wayans’ filmmaking talent, and his writing strength and his team work with all the cast members made the movie a true standout of the 90’s era. So, if you're looking for a fun and exciting movie to watch with your friends or family, this should be on your list.
