About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast, over-the-top action comedy driven by lively banter and two entertaining leads; Not for you if you dislike profanity, or if you want something more surprising than Smokin' Aces or From Paris with Love.
Pros: nonstop action-fun; witty banter; strong leading chemistry | Cons: heavy swearing/violence; cliche plot; some say it’s over-the-top
