Ruben Fleischer’s high-concept comedy 30 Minutes Or Less is out in UK cinemas today.
But is it worth your time?
Pop quiz, hotshot.
Theres a bomb on Jesse Eisenberg.
If Eisenberg doesnt rob a bank and get a hundred thousand dollars for Danny McBride, it blows up.
What do you do?What do you do?
No, this is not Speed 3.
A UB40 concert on a 20mph ocean liner killed off the possibility of that threequel.
Barely seconds in, and were already being treated to a Ferris Bueller homage.
Subtle is not on the menu this time around.
Although based on a true story (only in America!
Instead of a Romero zombie film, its a buddy action film this time around.
And yet, for all that, its a film thats as funny as you hope it will be.
Ward, especially, is having a ball here.
His pizza delivery guy has the front of his Zuckerberg and the laid back charm ofZombielands Columbus.
And its a film that comes very close to living up to its name.
Thanks to Pena, Ward and the rest of the cast, theres no refund required.
