Star Performances

Jesse Eisenberg is at his level best; he has made a mind blowing job with his comic timing. He holds the soul of character. Aziz Ansari as his crime partner looks fantastic, comic scenes between him and Jesse Eisenberg are hilarious. Danny McBride and Nick Swardson have done justice with their characters.

Analysis

Director Ruben Fleischer makes it quite interesting like his previous flick Zombieland. He has not done anything new but did it in his own style. As the film is action comedy, so it has both action and comedy. And it tickles the audience.

What’s there?

1. The comedy scenes of the film are nicely written.
2. The performance of all the characters is awesome especially Jesse Eisenberg and Aziz Ansari.
3. The film has crude humor which is acceptable in mainstream cinema.

What’s not there?

1. Action scenes of the film are very poor. You will laugh even in action scenes.
2. Nothing fresh in the film including direction and the story.
3. There are some flaws in editing too; there are many unnecessary scenes in the film.

Verdict

If you want to laugh out loud without caring about the logic, then you can watch this film. The film will make you laugh and will entertain you completely.
