Reviews & comments
Flicks, Daniel Rutledge
flicksDwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart are two of the most charming men working in Hollywood today and seeing them crack wise off each other was always going to be great.

Worth an evening...

pressIs dumb in all the right ways, and also a bit smarter than you might expect.
Hollywood Reporter
pressDemonstrates an above-average interest in story and character, and tries, if not always successfully, to craft real comic situations and action sequences.
Empire Magazine
pressAn action comedy without any action or comedy – not even The Rock’s charisma and enthusiasm can save this dud.
