CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE

Central Intelligence tells the story of what happened to that clingy kid in high school if he worked out every day and became a Jason Borne grade CIA agent.

The tag line to this movie is "to save the day you need a little Hart and a big Johnson." Well, that's exactly whats holding this film together. Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson are great in this movie. At it's core it's another wacky buddy flick not unlike Hart's other comedy Ride Along or Johnson's The Other Guys. The difference here is that Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson have a chemistry together that rivals the greats. Not only were the two funny together, but they played off of each other so well that the other problems this movie had, namely it's anemic third act and disjointed resolution, didn't ruin my experience.

All in all, it's not the best buddy comedy in the world, but it's by no means the worst. I enjoyed watching it for the most part and Johnson and Hart have great onscreen chemistry that is worth the price of admission. In fact the pair are supposed to be working on doing a Jumanji film together and on the strength of this movie, I'm looking forward to that as well. Central Intelligence gets a 3...out of 5.
