Movie Review : Central Intelligence

centralintelligence

Action comedy directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber which follows Calvin (Kevin Hart) who used to be the popular kid at high school but is now a mild-mannered accountant, at his 20-year high school reunion he is reunited with former classmate Bob (Dwayne Johnson), who was once an overweight nerd and a favorite target of bullies, but is now a deadly CIA agent. Bob then calls on Calvin to help him foil a plot to sell classified military secrets.

PROS

  • Very interesting and exciting story-line that keeps you guessing right up to the end .
  • Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Kevin Heart had excellent chemistry , they worked really well together .
  • The action sequences were smartly done and very entertaining .

CONS

  • There were some unexplained Plot holes in the movie .

FAVORITE QUOTES

Bob Stone: “You look like a black Will Smith .”

Bob Stone: “I got a plan. Might get us both killed, but if it works it’ll be a totally boss story. Cool?”

CONCLUSION 

Having Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Kevin Heart in one movie ,you know that you are in for a great time . Central Intelligence is an extremely hilarious action comedy .

The story-line is simple and straight forward , not exactly an original concept, but what brings the movie to life is the two leading men, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Kevin Heart.

I have often criticized Kevin Heart for playing the same character in all his movies , but in this one he switched things up a bit . He plays a slightly more serious character as opposed to the usual over the top comedic antics . With that being said , his comedic timing was still on point .  Dwayne Johnson also had a tremendous performance as the seemingly unstable/ unpredictable and sometimes sensitive Bob Stone/Robbie Weirdich . His character will keep you guessing his real intentions till the very end , which makes for a super fun movie .

  1. this is nonsense, everytime you see a black dude in the movies, he always plays a villain, a buffon or something negative, on drugs, left his kids and family, gangsta etc. this is called brainwashing. they are killing the image of the so called black man and it will become customary for us to think that black people are irresponsible or swear all the time or are rappers etc. Careful black nation. watch diligently!!! white man aint playing games with you all.
