Run of the mill movie. Nothing surprising, not enough balance between the "The Rock-Action" and the comedic "Hart-part". Hart was too much at times and pushing the scenes. That type of humor where the actor is at 200%, talking nonstop, not listening to logic/reason to create a "humorous", misunderstood reaction scene (i.e. couple therapy scene). It failed more often than not and was tiring as well.

Story was done ad nauseam already, so was the uneven-duo. Characters aren't sufficiently explored, it's a simple kid got bullied and turned himself around, most popular kid got a "boring", "standard" adult life and longs for more excitement story. It never goes beyond this. It's not even a brainless action movie type because it clearly tries to be a very cheesy, trope-driven action "comedy" making you cringe. The true villain and "his" story is a joke and predictable, yet again something that was done ad nauseam. Typical case of a famous actor who won't just be in this to get killed off after being seen in one or two scenes (filmmakers should start doing this to fool the audience).
Even though the reference to another show he was in and the other cameo was nice.
It's not an entirely unentertaining movie, though. But it has nothing really going for it that would make me say you need to watch this, there's nothing worthwhile. It's probably a movie that is only for Dwayne Johnson die-hard fans.

**Twenty years is a big gap for a big change to happen in anybody's life.**

This film had the potential to be the best comedy of the year, it opened so well, but did not conclude on high. Like everything suddenly halted, the story came to an end with giving clichéd reason. Though the actors were amazing, and many jokes were awesome. The lead two combination was among the best Kevin Hart worked so far like in the recently with Ice Cube and Will Ferrell.

The opening scenes set off the tone for the rest of the film. Twenty years later, an adventure begins, but that part was so familiar, except the influence of the opening part that carried till the final scene. Even though slightly unpredictable scenes, because the diversions were neatly done against what viewers could expect. The focus was largely on the lead pair, so theirs undertaking was kind of faded away.

There's a guest role at the end, also some behind the scene clips during the end credit cheers us. I think it is a good comedy than it looks, but definitely not the best. Its not the narration, but the actors that makes worth a watch. The stunt sequences were just okay, but utilised according to what the story required. Overall, an enjoyable, time pass film.

**Central Intelligence might not do anything special with its story, but what makes it special is the genius comedic pairing of Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson.**

Central Intelligence is exactly what you have come to expect of any film with Kevin Hart - a lot of fast-talking, dramatic arm-waving, strange faces, and hilarious antics. But Central Intelligence is probably the best of Hart’s catalog of buddy comedies because it marks the beginning of his entertaining friendship with Dwayne Johnson. While the movie is ridiculously goofy, the chemistry between these two reduces the film and leaves the audience wanting more of this fantastic and dorky duo. Central Intelligence also surprises with all the talent on its cast, including Aaron Paul, Jason Bateman, Melissa McCarthy, and more. It might not be a masterpiece, but Central Intelligence is a funny and entertaining film that will make you smile and make you happy that Hollywood has brought Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson together to bring the laughs again and again.
