About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an easy action-comedy built on fish-out-of-water clashes, light suspense, and a warm streak, similar to Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous; Not for you if you need nonstop action or sharp, consistent jokes.
Pros: dry humor; likable cast; light suspense | Cons: silly premise; uneven laughs; some early violence
