Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

filmpudding I love Danny McBride in pretty much everything else I've ever seen him in but I couldn't stand this movie. I made myself get through the whole thing constantly reminding myself that it had to get better but it just never did.There were a couple of pretty good jokes that made me laugh a bit, like the guy on the floor in the bank and the ink packs were definitely funny parts. But overall it was just one bad joke after another. Too bad because the premise is great, that two guys kidnap a pizza delivery boy, strap a bomb vest to him with a timer and also remote detonator, and tell him to rob a bank and get $100,000 for them by that night or he'd blow up.I also like Jesse Eisenberg in the few things I've seen him in, but just couldn't stand this movie at all. I guess it's probably huge fun for potheads, but overall it's just one bad joke after another, and pretty predictable.

SnoopyStyle Nick (Jesse Eisenberg) is a slacker smart-mouthed pizza delivery guy. His best friend is Chet (Aziz Ansari). He's also in love with Chet's twin Kate (Dilshad Vadsaria). Dwayne (Danny McBride) and Travis (Nick Swardson) are two idiot wannabe criminals. Dwayne is belittled by his father The Major (Fred Ward). He comes up with an idea to force the pizza boy to steal $100k for them by strapping him to a bomb. He wants the money to pay hit-man Chango (Michael Peña) to kill The Major whom he finds through stripper Juicy (Bianca Kajlich). Nick gets Chet to join him in a crime spree.The movie is split into two main and one minor duo. The group is full of funny people. I really like Eisenberg with Ansari. Ansari is a hilarious guy and there is great chemistry. McBride and Swardson are uneven. They get tiresome with them doing their bit. They keep disrupting the fun with Eisenberg and Ansari. I wish they stay with them while having less time with McBride and Swardson. The two wacky idiots could be much funnier with shorter and harder hits.

alindsay-al This film is one of many films that are very similar these days and that just explains why there is hardly any effort put into this film at all. The story sees this average guy Nick who is down on his luck until he is kidnapped by a couple of psychos and forced to commit a crime or else they will blow him up. Now Jesse eisenberg did a decent job here, I do believe there was possibly better people for the role but he did an alright job in the role just don't expect this to be the role where you understand why he is now lex luthor. The supporting cast has its good and bad, Danny McBride plays one of the psychos and he does a good job like he is good at always doing in films like this. Eisenberg's best friend is also good with the duo having good chemistry that carries this film. Other then that though I mean McBride's partner and eisenberg's romance are totally underused and suffer from being ultimately insignificant. The story in this film is just bad, the first 20 mins are terrible with the film being choppy and not deciding where it wanted to go, also plot lines were not detailed enough for you to care at all. The scripts alright with the dialogue being sometimes good but their are other times where it totally sucks and you wonder why you are bothering. The style is so copy and paste with other films like this that it frustrates me, however, there is once scene that is really funny but does not make up for the overall picture. Overall this film is not necessary to see and just stick to a Seth rogen comedy instead.

ironhorse_iv I'm a ticking time bomb, as this movie makes me anger than make me laughs. I love dark comedies, but I'm sorry, but I can't find this movie, that funny, knowing that the plot is very loosely based on a tragedy event that claim somebody life. In 2003, Brian Wells was an American pizza delivery man who was forced to rob a bank due to a bomb fastened to his chest. After he was apprehended by the police for robbing a bank, the bomb exploded, killing him. The bizarre affair was subject to much attention in the mass media. The producers deny having prior knowledge of that event, but I have to say that, the film is way too similar to the real events that they have to be lying. The movie really lacks creatively. Directed by Ruben Fleischer, in the film, Nick (Jesse Eisenberg) is a slacker pizza delivery driver that got a bomb fastened to his chest by two slackers Dwayne King (Danny McBride) and Travis Cord (Nick Swardson), whom plan is to use the driver to steal money from the bank to hire an assassin to kill Dwayne's father, the Major (Fred Ward), and get his inheritance money. Indeed, the rating R movie plays on the really dark comedy that might be disturbing to some viewers. The movie doesn't really have any smart jokes, as it plays upon thoughtless crude humor to get around, it's 82 minutes running time. For a movie that says a lot can happen in 30 minutes. There was little to no sense of time in the film. If the movie made the scenes, more tense or funny. Maybe, the film could had work, but no. The film goes really have a lot of filler scenes full of product placements. I guess, Nissan must have paid a lot of money to show off that nicely restored Datsun. Also Arby's and 5-Hour Energy drinks. It's weird that all laptops seem to be Sony Vaio! Honestly, did the companies being feature in the film, know what film, they are helping fund? Being associated to this film is such bad PR. With all that money that the movie got from product placement, you would think they would hired better writers? The movie also really tries it's hardest to degrade women to the point, it was a bit overbearing, how crude the sexual remarks were. The continuous running gag of the two slackers wanting to start a prostitution ring became less and less funny, and more disturbing by the second. By the end of the film, it felt like the movie was stating out women only purpose of living are to be sex toys to men. Nudity is just there to show that viewpoint. Women are not put in a positive light at all. It wasn't needed to run the joke to the ground, to the point, that it got muddy, and tasteless. The brick jokes even fall flat. There is plenty of action scenes that were performance, most wasn't that bad. Once again, the movie really depends on unrealistic slapstick humor to get around, and its shows that most of the jokes in the movie are that. The foul language doesn't help make the jokes, funnier. Some of them, seem oddly place within the dialogue. Really derogatory terms, name calling. Most of the characters are unsympathetic unlikeable people that is hard to root for. Even Nick is a jerk-ass. The acting is alright, but if anybody states out in their role is Aziz Ansari as Chat, Nick's best friend. There is an alternate ending that maybe is worth checking out, if you do, end up watching this film. Most of this alternate ending just follow the post-credits scene. I do find the movie lacking a message. Honestly, without spoiling it, how in the end, did everybody get out scots free!? What was learn? Nothing, really. No big punch line to the whole film. It was one big Shaggy Dog story. This movie is a extremely long-winded anecdote characterized by extensive narration of typically irrelevant incidents and terminated by an anticlimax or a pointless punchline. Overall: I will drop an F-Bomb here and say this movie: fails to entertain me. It was just disappointing.
