Great cast, but nobody seemed invested.
Pete Davidson was amazing in "The King of staten island", Keke Palmer has the bite, sass and timing of the most hilarious family member you love to be around and Eddie Murphy is without a doubt legendary within the comedy world, so...why did this film feel like no one really cared to pull their part?
Don't get me wrong, it had it's moments, but with comedy it's about delivery and timing, and it seemed as if they wanted to add as much dialouge as possible? It felt forced.
And I get excited about a good action plot, but where I thought the comedic timing was incredible in movie's like "The Kingsmen", this movie left me longing for fewer lines, more non speaking action sequences. Oh! And the way I never feel quite clever enough to see through some heists in other movies, this one was badly written and played out. Almost like an SNL skit, that goes on for way to long.
One more thing: The RFID tag is wireless, and when they do have a code to scan, it will not look like a regular barcode. Plus come on, that security would have needed some kind of hacking or handling.
I know the leading cast of this movie has shown a ton of talent and passion before, and I am excited to see more, just hope it's better written before it's put into production.
