Central Intelligence (2016)

Fresh and Exciting

Excellent adaptation.

As Good As It Gets

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Was so Excited because there were two popular actors working together but all the more reason for its downfall. The movie had no proper plot, and the plot was very poor. There wasn't much action as I expected however a plus for this movie would be there are some hints of comedy but still I had very high expectations with this movie and this was a huge disappointment. Dwayne Johnson is on a trend of just creating movies with the most cliche plots making them lacklustre.

This is the type of movie that delivers what it promises. If you take your logical and serious brain with you, you are to be disappointed. I went to watch an out and out entertainer and I got one. There are all kinds of funny moments in this movie, the outrageous action comedy, subtle funny one liners, stupid stunts and what not

Central Intelligence is clearly a comedy film which was intended to have box office success due to its leads of Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart. The film did well at the box office mainly due to them. The trailers did make it somewhat appealing yet also quite odd or bizarre. The comedy in this film is typical, there are some decent jokes and some misses that are not as funny as it could have been. Though what makes the film better than it should have been considering the recycled plot and predictable format, are Johnson and Hart, as their chemistry excels and they are both great entertainers. Central Intelligence blends both comedy and action and keeps it up but at the same time, feels quite bizarre and unrealistic at times with its over the top action. In a way, Central Intelligence is better than expected but also quite forgettable.

(Flash Review)The key to this movie was it knew what it was and hit its mark. The Rock and Hart have great on screen chemistry and played off each other very well. I actually laughed out loud several times. The Rock who in high school was obese and got mightily humiliated in a huge and embarrassing moment and has later turned into a muscle-bound man and works for the CIA. Hart's character was the only one to not laugh at him and the two meet up 20 years later as The Rock needs his professional accounting skills to assist him on a mission. The plot is solid and has a few twists so above average for this type of comedy. Don't worry ladies, there are more than enough shots of The Rock topless and a long scene where he's in his birthday suit for your imagination only. Overall it was Fun and Funny.
