movie review - Central Intelligence

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kokubunji, 2022.06.22

This is a movie in which Kevin Hart plays the diminutive comic relief and someone capable of maintaining a scowl plays the heavy. This time, the heavy is Dwayne Johnson, and the genre is Spy. It's mostly innocuous faire in which we of course see Kevin Hart toughening up and rise to the occasion. But I didn't find the chemistry between the leads terribly convincing, and the story is not helped much by some predictable turns of events.

Not recommended.
