About
You might enjoy this if you like silly, low-stakes action-comedies with an accident-prone hero and a lot of misunderstanding-driven chaos, especially if titles like Delta Farce appeal to you; Not for you if you want sharper humor or a more believable story.
Pros: goofy setup; light action-comedy tone; easygoing pace | Cons: very broad humor; far-fetched situations; thin story
