So I recently watched Central Intelligence and I'm here to bring you my review. So without further ado...
Bullied as a teen for being overweight, Bob Stone (played by Dwayne Johnson) shows up to his high school reunion looking fit and muscular. While there, he finds Calvin Joyner (played by Kevin Hart), a fast-talking accountant who misses his glory days as a popular athlete. Stone is now a lethal CIA agent who needs Calvin's number skills to help him save the compromised U.S. spy satellite system. Together, the former classmates encounter shootouts, espionage and double-crosses while trying to prevent worldwide chaos.
This was a pretty fun film to watch. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Kevin Hart are a strange combination to put together, but their chemistry is so perfect that you can feel that they both had fun making the film. With this films potential success, you could very well see these two on the big screen together a few more times. The film has a lot of bright moments and some of them are absolutely hilarious with most of the laughs coming from Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Some of the laughs feel forced and just don't really work well with the overall film. The film also has a quite a bit action and a lot of set pieces are spectacular, but some often come off as over-the-top and unbelievable. The story is relatively simple and predictable and it really just doesn't do a lot and you can't get invested in what's going on in the film. Overall this is a decent entry into the Buddy-Cop comedy, but it doesn't do much story wise although Hart and Johnson might be the best pairing in Hollywood right now. I give Central Intelligence a 5 out of 10.
So ladies and gentlemen what did you think of Central Intelligence, what would you rate it and what did you think of my review? Let me know in the comments section below and let your voice be heard.
