Die Hart

"All I needed was ... an actor who was afraid of being forgotten". This line makes me doubt this is an action film, and makes it feel like a biopic. Because if, as a serious actor, you are NOT taking a role in drivel like this because you expect it to be a box office success. On the face of it this movie is onanistic narcisism, with Kevin Hart making a movie about Kevin Hart being Kevin Hart in another Kevin Hart movie but now about Kevin Hart. If you start this movie with this in the back of your mind, you are in for a very mediocre movie about making a 'real life' movie. You are _still_ going to see a movie with Kevin Hart about Kevin Hart, mind you. But there'll be other actors too. Briefly. And a plot, passingly. All in all: Not good. Good enough to waste 90 minutes on, bad enough that you'll have forgotten about it before your next drink. Not bad. Just a Kevin Hart movie, in conclusion.

The movie is as bad as respectable budget film can be... the plot is just ridiculous and uninteresting.

The acting is not bad, far from it, but the characters are not inspiring. John Tavolta's acting is not bad as some reviews says; it's just that his character is a little crazy and goofy.

Hart's plays a version of himself that portraits him as weak and diminished, and that's not a good thing.

The cast made me believe this could be interesting but it's not the case... how can a movie with a cast like this can be so bad??

And the question which is bugging me: how the heck did this got a sequel???...

A movie that delivers exactly as expected. Kevin Hart is perfectly cast as Kevin Hart - he delivers the completely unfunny nuances of Kevin Hart perfectly.

Almost a laugh an hour, the movie is well paced. The action sequences lack action and the comedy sequences lack comedy. It's like watching a Kevin Hart "comedy" special. The laughs are all forced.

On the plus side, vegan Nathalie Emmanuel is - as always - very easy on the eye. And the fact that she doesn't mention veganism despite being handed jerky (huge spoiler, sorry) was a huge step in her acting career.

All in all, it's a movie that was made by somebody and directed by somebody and had people in it who acted. Partially. 3/10.

Based on the tv series of the same name which was released three years prior (this may be confusing to those who are unfamiliar with the series). This film plays out as one would expect. Kevin Hart in his own Dir Hard-esque type film with him playing a fictional character of himself trying to become an "action hero/ leading man".. it features all the parody and satirical action movie stunts to be had.

Nothing is exactly cleverly funny and it's predictable. Certainly a film would be more well liked by Kevin Hart fans. Unlike the series, there is a lot of cursing (F-bombs) which get quite over the top by both Hart and John Travolta. In the end, this film is mildly amusing, and it's a satire. People seem to be taking it far too serious.

I have nothing but love for Kevin Hart, but realistically this is what happens when you do run an empire and you trying to do everything. You simply can't give everything 100%. This is 20% of his energy and quality and another film in the last few that shows the lack and effort. The story is an extreme stretch once or gets further into it. The acting is very poor and surprisingly John travolta is the weakest one. Clearly showing if you take long breaks from your craft it does take it toll. Basically Amazon wanted a film entice people and the through alot of money at Kevin and his brand to ensure it gets that "Kevin harts in it, surely it's decent". But a very poor film overall. I would rather Kevin go away for a few years with the films and come back and bring back something he was able to really put his effort in. Cannot recommend it, tje only positive is that they kept it under 1hr 30.
