Stuber

It’s good that there are still screenwriters in American who are not afraid to write one action buddy comedy after another. Stuber is no wild ride, but it works alright as a comedy. Dave Bautista is a cool actor I wouldn’t mind seeing more often, Kumail Nanijani has stand-up comedy roots, and is able to surprise the audience. Together, they work as a good team, with cool catchphrases. What more would you want? It’s true that the golden days of Top Gun are long past, but it’s totally okay as a chill-out movie.

A fairly surprising action comedy that didn't look very attractive at first glance, but the positive reception of the audience was very encouraging, and in the end I am satisfied. Dave Bautista and Kumail Nanjiani have a decent chemistry, the action somehow works and the humour mostly worked, but most of all, the film has a fun and fast pace that makes it no place for boredom. Too bad Iko Uwais didn't get much space, but I'm still satisfied and I wouldn't mind a sequel. 70% (08/10/2019)

Stuber reminded me of two films: directly The Hitman’s Bodyguard, and indirectly Game Night, both of which I found slightly better. Stuber still has a brisk pace and more than one humorous scene, like Vic's blindness or Stu's remarks, but it doesn't have anything to surprise, which admittedly you don’t expect in a film like this, but it still could have been a plus point. All in all, it’s an action-packed, funny, one-view film that will neither offend nor amaze you! P.S. I was incredibly annoyed by Tedjo, whom I found too overpowered given his largely cadaverous physique. (11/07/2019)

This comedy certainly wasn’t overwhelming for my brain, the plot was quite simple and predictable. But I must admit that the humor in the film worked, especially desperate Stu's hilarious one-liners. I had a surprisingly good time. (25/10/2019)
