Film Review - Central Intelligence
June 16, 2016
It’s difficult to classify “Central Intelligence” as a good movie, but it makes a valiant effort to disrupt expectations, especially when it comes to leads Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson. An action-comedy from director Rawson Marshall Thurber (“We’re the Millers”), the picture is open to switching traditional roles for the talent, allowing Johnson to be the semi-loud weird guy while Hart does the straight-man routine. It may seem like a simple change in tone, but the idea keeps “Central Intelligence” involving and amusing, especially when it offers a sedate, reactionary Hart. Thurber isn’t built for big, violent set pieces, but the jokes keep coming in the film, showing a little more interest in entertaining ticket-buyers than expected. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
