Featured reviews
Sometimes these switch role movies work out great, with a good script writer and chemistry between leads. This flick however, there is absolutely ZERO chemistry between them, the characters arent even the tiniest bit likeable and the story drags on and is boring despite lots of (forced) action. Actually the characters not are only not likeable, Hart is extremely annoying to the point you wish to stop watching the movie. Not to mention the guy plays EXACTLY the same role he always plays (which sometimes does work) to varying degrees of stupid1ty. Here it is dialed up to 10 and his behaviour comes of so obnoxiously dumb it is too unrealistic even for a comedy film.
Just in general a dull, unfunny film with obnoxious characters and a plot that drags on rather than takes you on a fun, entertaining adventure.
PASS.

I was reading through a few reviews that marked this movie as terrible.
What are they expecting from a movie like this? Shakespeare? This is action comedy! And what does it not provide for you in that genre. Kevin Hart is being just like Kevin Hart. That's what people want when they select a show like this. Woody Harrelson did an excellent job of his standardized villain persona.
All movies are not on the same level, but for the level this one is on, I think they did a good job. Even "actors" have to make money.

The Netflix's movie recipe is always the same :
- big name actors
- whatever story
- weak director
- watch once and forget
- good action
- flat jokes
- cheap FX
- good Sunday afternoon movie.
Pretty much Ride Along with an assassin instead of a cop. It's predictable, pretty forced, but enjoyable if you like Kevin Hart. Woody's role was originally Jason Stathum's and you can tell. Overall, not bad for a Netflix film, but nothing special.
This movie gives partly what u kinda expect from Hart and Harrelson,
at same time its problem these are not stand out characters .
Hart is likable , but as often in the movies he is in , the script , the actual comedic content could be better .
Harrelson is not bad , but seems in a way clichee and comparible with roles he has done before .
As to create more content for its service , this netflix movie has been made , it does feel like that to me .
There is need for content and not much time to perfect the script or work on other aspects of the movie .
Lets do a movie with Hart and Harrelson , it will generate some views on their names alone .
Even though the movie has its moments , and sort of delivers what u can expect from it , it really left me with empty feelng when finished.
