Two fledgling criminals kidnap a pizza delivery guy, strap a bomb to his chest, and advise him that he has mere hours to rob a bank or else...
What critics thought
Critics landed in mixed-to-negative territory on this Ruben Fleischer follow-up, finding its talented cast underserved by a screenplay that never quite commits to being either a sharp action comedy or a genuinely transgressive one. The film's pace and sporadic laughs earned some goodwill, but its tonal inconsistency — lurching between crude gags and a plot with real-world echoes — left many feeling it coasted on premise alone.
