This flashed up as new on Netflik on Friday and I put it on with visions of The Rock and Hart or Wahlberg and Ferrell together.
Sadly Hart and Wahlberg don't work together. There's no chemistry to their buddy comedic relationship.
It's not helped by a script trying to be too modern and diverse. Perhaps they were trying to avoid stereotypes and tick all the right boxes? Who knows! But it just doesn't work.
The scenes in Death Valley are horribly clichéd and contrived. The family scenes either bizarre or banal. The "villan" an insult to whatever nationality he was supposed to be. The father in law? Could have been a great memorable character but stereotyped by a hapless scriptwriter.
It's not bad but it's certainly not good. Harmless yet very forgettable.
