Bad movie. Very few redeeming qualities. I found the plot to be rather ridiculous. Alison Brie’s character does that dumb thing where bullets are flying and explosions are going off, but she’s determined to film the action with her phone. It looks laughable on screen. John Cena and Alison Brie were both fine. Unfortunately, the script was really not funny at all for an action comedy. Plus the action was generally boring and not very well staged. The film also includes another really dumb scene where Brie’s character attempts to seduce Cena’s by showing all of her tattoos. Feels like every Brie movie or show has that one nude (or mostly nude) scene, though, so I guess this scene had to be there. Favorite part of the movie was probably Juan Pablo Raba who displayed a lot of charisma. This is an easy skip. I personally wouldn’t even bother streaming it.
