Central Intelligence

Central Intelligence starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and comedian Kevin Hart was a movie that took me by surprise. Central Intelligence is a buddy cop comedy that suffers from the same recycled plot line that Hollywood keeps pumping out, so to say that I was dreading to see this movie, is a bit of an understatement. But then something miraculous happened, about 15 minutes into the film, I was actually caught myself laughing emphatically in front of the T.V.  When the film ended, I realized that I had been laughing for a good chunk of this movie. The comedy shines, and the characters are goofy and weird in their own way. Now there are a lot of problems with this film, Kevin hart plays the same character he plays in every movie he's in, Dwayne Johnson stepped out of his comfort zone on this one, and it wasn't pretty, his acting was terrible, his character was not believable at all. The plot line like I said before is stock Hollywood crap, but besides all that, the comedy portion of the movie really helps it move along, and it's what ultimately makes this movie enjoyable to watch. There are a few cameos from famous actors, but for the sake of no spoilers, i'll leave that for you to watch. Editing, sets, and wardrobe were all average, and the film was professionally shot. When you go see Central Intelligence, you don't go for all of that, not for the acting either, you go for the comedy and the good laugh your going to have throughout the film. Central Intelligence is an enjoyable time for adults, and I award it 3.5 out of 5 Harts.
