As his high school reunion approaches, he tries to make contact with his old schoolmates. And someone named Bob Stone contacts him. He says that he was known as Robbie Weirdicht in school. Calvin remembers that he was picked on, as a matter of fact after an extremely nasty prank he left school. They agree to meet and Calvin is surprised by how much he has changed. Bob asks Calvin to help him out. He says yes and the next thing he knows some men burst into his home. They're CIA, the one in charge is looking for Stone, she says he's a rogue agent. When they can't find Bob they leave. Later he approaches Calvin telling him, he is not a rogue agent, he's trying to find a person known as the Black Badger who is planning to sell some information that in the wrong hands can be disastrous. so he needs Calvin's help to stop him. Calvin's not sure whom he should believe.
Likes : When it come to film's starring the Dwayne Johnson you expect this hard ass dont mess with character that will beat you down hard leave crippled in pain , but this film actually make his character the opposite with a nerdy concept that is kind of strange but funny.
Special from what you see of the trailer not sure whether the guy in the shower is real & they've superimposed Dwayne face on him or seriously good C.G.I , but ive way it was blood hilarious seeing the Dwayne like that & the way he come across through the film showing that he not just an action star is a funny guy as well.
It good to see Kevin hart not playing the typical loud mouth over the top character that some people seem to hate, he actually comes off better in this film the comedic chemistry between Kevin & Dwayne really make this film even more funnier.
I love the story of this film what seem like to be happen on the surface turns out to be something totally different it add a good twist in to action comedy, a lot of the action are mild but you cant really have over the top intense action for pg13 special being a comedy the tone is actually good.
The story follows both of them having reunited 20 years after high school in order to save the world. The main plot is a little weakest for the movie since there's not much emphasis put on it. I will say that there are some pretty sweet cameos in here that are awesome as well . The action is mostly good even though it got a bit shaky in some places of the film.
There is also a message in the film about bullying which the Dwayne is strongly against which has been intertwine with the story a little bit, but if you look for a funny film this year, Center intelligence is the one to watch.
Dislikes : There were certain area of the film that could of been better done but overall not a bad film.
Overall : Central Intelligence is a pleasant surprise this summer movie
Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 8 out of 10 for concept.
