I had an hour to kill and figured I'd give this a go based on the premise that it's a black comedy and I was in the mood for it. I started watching it fully ready to be disappointed but was quite engaged.
Jamie Fox is always charismatic but at times pushes a bit too much. Dave Franco was the real revelation though. His character could have been grating and annoying but it was handled well. He was actually funny a few times where he had no right to be. Snoop Dogg is also worth watching. Okay enough villain.
I'm not one to choose action over storytelling but this one did have some good set pieces. The fighting was mostly nicely choreographed but it was a car chase which really had me - extremely dynamic camera work in that one.
A number of plot holes here and there but I found myself willing to close an eye because it's a fun movie.
