This is a good example of what the industry is buying in the comedy genre. He was better in true crime story Snitch. The Rock's lines were delivered with the enthusiasm of Ferris Beuhler's teacher, with McLovin style. Central Intelligence was very 2016 in that it dealt with the 'body shaming.' The Rock was bullied as a youth, yet inexplicably he is still stuck in high school nostalgically and can't wait to hit the reunion. The Rock asks Kevin Hart 'Are you in?' (a mad-cap adventure) to which Kevin Hart replies, 'No, I am definitely not in.' In a twist that outdid itself in stupidity, The Rock somehow becomes Kevin Hart and his clueless wife's marriage counselor. It's basically one joke repeated ad nauseam, a la Saturday Night Live. Like much of the jokes, Central Intelligence falls flat-not that there are many to go around. Kevin Hart (American History X, Kevin Hart) plays the straight man opposite Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson (Scorpion King, Expendables), reprising his gentle giant role from Pain and Gain. I think that was the point.Ģ5 October 2016 - 2 out of 3 users found this review helpful.Ĭentral Intelligence is a studio feature film in the bromance/buddy comedy genre. The future remained uncertain, leading up to the culmination, of what to do with the living situation and legal guardianship arrangements. Manchester is about going back to your hometown, in this case, the titular town being a metaphor for facing the past. Fair warning, there is a lot of profanity. Some of the characters were needlessly introduced without developing their story arcs or serving as plot points. Regret, loss, substance abuse, heartbreak, life going on, coming of age (getting laid), the awkwardness of forced small talk, replacement, boating, and family are the central themes. One mistake that got past the cutting room was the line 'You're a janitor in Quincy.' Quincy is a separate city from Boston, where the protagonist was supposed to be doing his janitorial penance. Like any good Boston picture, there are plenty of dropped Rs and local references. It has its moments of poignancy and dramatic irony. The biggest drawback for me was the nonlinear storytelling. Therein lies the plot, albeit deconstructionist. Newcomer Lucas Hedges steals the show as the grieving ginger nephew forced onto Affleck's hands pursuant to the will of his deceased brother. There are cameos from Matthew Broderick, Michelle Williams, Tate Donovan, and Gretchen Moll. Casey Affleck (Good Will Hunting, Gone Baby Gone) plays with type as the hotheaded janitor with a dark past. It's Good Will Hunting meets Young Adult. Filmed on location, the nautical backdrop provides a realistic glimpse into the way of life in those parts, i.e. It is a tragedy as much about a place as the people living in it. Manchester by the Sea is a slice-of-life, straight drama set in Boston's suburban North Shore area. 22 January 2017 - 4 out of 16 users found this review helpful.
