Calvin's not sure whom he should believe.
I really enjoed this movie. There are some cheesy episodes but it is a good average comedy with a great cast and an incredible chemistry inside. Interaction between Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson is great and it was a pleasure to watch them in action. This movie is a typical buddy spy comedy which definitely brings a lot of fun and laughs but in the same time doesn't have a high quality when it comes to keeping the plot together (it is definitely more a genre issue).The tone is wavering from a violent action thriller to a very light comedy and an interest in the story is getting lost towards the end, although in the first and the second acts the plot develops really interesting.
Central Intelligence explores not just a soul of each characters but it does remind us about how unique we all inside on example of Bob Stone and Calvin Joyner who are so different but there is something very similar in both of them. And it gives us this amazing chemistry and we are invested into the story to go on this crazy buddies adventure to save the world ( and at this part the it gets cheesy).
Move on to the facts:
- A movie with 69% on Rotten Tomatoes is called as successful with Critics Consensus: Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson make for well-matched comic foils, helping Central Intelligence overcome a script that coasts on their considerable chemistry.
- Chemistry and Interaction between Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson creates something very special.
- Spy comedy with pg-13 jokes and a lot of fun especially because of the chemistry inside the cast. Tone is a little crazy which is obviously normal for the genre so dig up some similar movies to understand what it is about. But it the difference is mostly because of the chemistry and Dwayne Johnson's charisma on set.
- It has a lot of cliche scenes and if you are focused and suspicious enough you can easily predict what is going to happen.
- Kevin Hart gives a very good performance playing scared clerc who was a school golden boy. Interesting characters the both have with "The Rock".
- First two acts the story develops pretty well and it makes a good job in investing somehow the audience into this adventure.
- The third act starts to lose focus of the audience in some point simply because of predictable ending and by not the best realization.
- The movie has a cheesy ending which is enjoyable if you can handle this sort of things.
- Actually the director and the writers really try to create a soul for those characters, go deep down into them, under their skin. And there is characters development so it is a decent, not dumn movie about two school buddies running around doing crazy spy stuff with a great cast and crew of filmmakers on board.
In conclusion I may remind you that every movie is subjective. You can love it, hate it or do not care about it. This is why you can read a review before seeing and decide for yourself to go watch it or not.
