Pizza, Explosions, and Hilarious Antics: A Review of 30 Minutes or Less (2011)
30 Minutes or Less is like a cheesy pizza that you can't help but enjoy. It is a 2011 action-comedy film directed by Ruben Fleischer. The film stars Jesse Eisenberg as Nick, a pizza delivery boy who gets kidnapped by two bumbling criminals (Danny McBride and Nick Swardson) and forced to rob a bank in while a bomb is strapped to his chest.
The plot of the film is absurd, but that's part of what makes it so enjoyable. The film doesn't take itself too seriously, and the humor is often dark. The chemistry between Eisenberg and Aziz Ansari (who plays Nick's best friend) is also a highlight of the film. Can't say the same about the chemistry between McBride and Swardson though.
The action sequences are over-the-top and satisfying, with explosions and car chases galore. The bank heist scene in particular is well-done and provides a satisfying conclusion.
Overall, "30 Minutes or Less" is an enjoyable and entertaining film that delivers plenty of laughs and action. While it may not be the most groundbreaking movie, it's a great choice for a fun night in. Just make sure to have some pizza on hand for the full experience.
I rate it 3 out of 5.
