Movie Man Darian Watching All Night Long

This film was a great surprise! When I saw the news that the Rock and Kevin Hart were going to be in a film together I got excited. But once footage was released I thought the humour was a little to bland and it would fall flat. But was I so wrong it was a good film with fantastic humour some minor plot holes besides that the chemistry Johnson&hart share is electric. This film is a great film to watch if your in the mood for a good time at the theatre with some fun humour and a bit of action. 

Rated PG -13: for crude and suggestive humor, some nudity, action violence and brief strong language Action & Adventure Comedy

Kevin Hart : Kevin delivers a serious toned performance and it works! Kevin is usually the firecracker or joker in the film but this time the roles are reversed the rock plays Kevin's bit and Kevin plays the role the rock usually plays and the reverse in roles is so what we are not used to seeing and it's so refreshing. Kevin is very serious in this film at times and we get to see his acting range and his ability to be a serious toned character is amazing he's so genuinely real onscreen when he's delivering such serious dialogue he isn't afraid to get emotional and it's outstanding how great he can do it and play the straight man of the movie. But he's not just serious he has his fair share of laughs in the film to and he makes it look effortless. So he walks that wire of being serious and comedic that mix works so well for his character and his performance. To deliver a serious performance while making you laugh is a perfect fit for Kevin overall a fantastic performance from Hart. 

Dwayne Johnson : The rock is a blast in this film. Dwayne plays the comedic relief of the film and it's a role we aren't used to see the rock inhabit a funny character is refreshing because he's so well known for being the scorpion king or dom in the furious films. So for him to play a character who goes for the laughs isn't his usual pick for a film but he made a good choice. Because he enters the scene and dominates it with his electric acting ability to tap into his other layers of acting showcasing his comedic ability and he's hilarious when he's onscreen. The rock is fantastic in this film not only is he funny he's also plays a guy who's very emotional and has scars from bullying and the way the rock was able to play the serious tone of his character. He dose very well absurd very genuine and you get emotional because the rock is giving his all and he wraps himself in the scene and it dose not feel acted it feels real which makes his performance even more convincing. As well as the Chemistry he has with Hart is fantastic the connection those two share is electric they are a great duo overall a fantastic performance from the rock.

Rawson Marshall Thurber : Rawson gives good direction but has some flaws. The direction in this film is great he is able to hit the comedy hard while dealing with a serious issue which is bullying and plays off the tones well. But what he did wrong and the only issue I have with the film is that i felt that they would say something like the centre problem of the film is very confusing. They talk about it but never explain it they just throw it to you and say here's the plot that's it and it has two funny guys. So the plot of the film is very unexplained and they focus more on the laughs then the plot which is fine but it would of been nice to learn more about it. But besides that great direction for a comedy action film had the audience engaged from beginning to end great direction. 

The Cinematography : The camera work wasn't that special but it did have one good shot I will mention. They jump out a building and the way the frame captured it was incredibly well done from different angles I liked the camerawork in the film it was good.

The Soundtrack : the music in the film was fun and very upbeat. It will have you dancing in your seat some great beats in the film.
