An average movie

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this movie but since I have a weak spot for Dwayne Johnson, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, even though I think that the concept actually had some potential, the end-result was actually pretty disappointing, I’m afraid. Indeed, it could have been a neat dark comedy about a slightly psychotic CIA agent taking some reckless risks while on the job and who happens to have some massive trauma’s from his high school time. Unfortunately, even though Johnson can be pretty good in comedies, for some reasons, they turned his character into some annoying moron obsessing about unicorns which was definitely a mistake. Concerning Kevin Hart, even though he was fairly funny and he managed to make the most of it, he was still stuck with a rather thankless generic character. I mean, the guy had a decent job, no health issues, a gorgeous wife and a very nice house and, yet, he was still in a typical and rather boring middle-life crisis. Concerning the story itself, the way they hook up at the beginning was rather weak and the whole spy plot was just terribly basic and tedious. And, yet, I think if they had focused more on the complex psychology of Bob Stone A.K.A. Robbie Weirdicht instead of constantly making fun of him, it could have actually worked. Anyway, to conclude, even if I have seen worse, I didn’t care much for the damned thing and I don’t think it is really worth a look.
