Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Just perfect...
The acting in this movie is really good.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
"Next Day Air" wasn't particularly funny, and I had expected it to be more of a comedy after having read the synopsis. So I was sorely disappointed once the movie ended.The story is about a delivery of narcotics gone bad. As the unknowing delivery guy delivers a package to the wrong address, a large shipment of drugs end up in the hands of two men desperate for money. Those whom the delivery were intended for never receive the shipment and become pressed by their boss, meanwhile those who got it by mistake set off to sell the drugs through their contacts.The story was entertaining enough, but I had just expected something more in the funny department.The acting in the movie was good, and people were doing good jobs with their given roles and characters.There was just something missing from the movie that kept it from being a good movie experience. What it was, I had no clue. But I sit here after having seen the movie and thinking that it could have been better. It is like a particular ingredient missing from your tomato sauce to make it stand out, you know?"Next Day Air" had its moments, sure. But ultimately, then it wasn't an impressive movie. And as such, I am rating it 4 out of 10 stars.
If this had not been played so broad, it could be a Sam Rami, A SIMPLE PLAN, or even a Cohen Bros. film, NO COUNTRY, or even FARGO! It even has a little Hitchcock in the script, but the acting is so very broad there is almost no other way to take it. It is a pretty good script that was taken specific way. Strange, I wouldn't mind seeing a remake same director, same actors, but a totally different take on the same material, and this time straight. Anyway I think the film is fun to watch because some of the actors are really good and the productions values are descent. You got to wonder if the studio as opposed the director had the last word on this one.
I loved this movie. Ironically, I didn't want to see this movie. I mean how many movies can you see dealing with drugs and thieves? This movie had me laughing from the beginning to the end. The ending was very surprising and not how I thought it would turn out which was very refreshing. Great line up and chemistry between the actors. Mike Epps and Avon (I know thats his Wire name but hey that mind as well be his real name because thats how he will always be remembered) were great together. Mos Def also surprised me at how funny he could be. The Latin chick, although served her purpose as the eye candy, acting could have been a lot better. I was happy to see her since she is so pretty but what was the purpose of Lauren London's character? With everything said, the summary does the movie no justice. I was laughing the hardest in the theater. Will definitely get the DVD.
HBCU247.com writes two smalltime hoods, Brody (Mike Epps) and Guch (Wood Harris) open the box and find a gift from heaven. They immediately arrange to sell the coke to Brody's drug dealer cousin for $150,000. In the meantime, Jesus (Cisco Reves) tries to track down who got his package before the drug kingpin, Bodega Diablo (Emilio Rivera) notices that his drugs are missing. Unfortunately, time has run out and Bodega is in town, and he is furious that his shipment is lost. Bodega will get his drugs back or heads will roll. During the same time, Brody and Guch are about to complete their drug deal with Guch's cousin. They are on a collision course with destiny, because they are about to have company knocking at their door. This was a funny movie about the perils of being high while on the job. PLEASE DO NOT GET HIGH WHILE ON THE JOB!!! It was fun to watch once and not alone (you may need other people's commentary to make the movie funnier). And now that I think about it I wonder if my broken furniture and missing items from our several moves happened because our movers were high. Shame Shame This movie makes me wonder why people think it is a good idea to get quick money by selling drugs. Stupidity was definitely the new black in this movie, and these people were wearing it well! This movie is good enough to watch once as a rental! So ENJOY!
