Central Intelligence follows a one-time
bullied geek who grew up to be a lethal CIA agent (Johnson), coming home
for his high school reunion. Claiming to be on a top-secret case, he
enlists the help of the former “big man on campus” (Hart), now an
accountant who misses his glory days. But before the staid
numbers-cruncher realizes what he’s getting into it’s too late to get
out, as his increasingly unpredictable new friend drags him through a
world of shoot-outs, double-crosses and espionage that could get them
both killed in more ways than he can count.
I had sky high hopes for this movie due to the pairing of The Rock and Kevin Hart. I'll admit that the movie didn't meet those expectations but there were still a ton of laughs. The Rock really can't do anything wrong as far as I'm concerned. He just makes everything better. The chemistry between him and Kevin Hart was awesome and there was something about his doofiness at times in this movie that seriously cracked me up. The movie was paced well and had solid supporting characters.
I would definitely recommend people checking this out. It's not wire to wire laughs like I had hoped, but it was still plenty funny enough to be worth the trip to theaters.
