CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE Trailer: A Little Hart and A Big Johnson
Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart co-star in Central Intelligence, a new action comedy from the director of Dodgeball and We're The Millers that comes out this summer. New Line and Universal have just released a new trailer, and it's a big improvement over the first trailer that came out a few months ago. Whatever the hell sort of effect they used to make Johnson look like a fat high school kid looks terrible to me, but the rest of the movie looks like a typical mismatched buddy cop comedy that might provide a few laughs and a handful of memorable action scenes. Johnson is great, and if Hart isn't too shrill, it could be fun to see them play off of each other.
The story follows a one-time bullied geek who grew up to be a lethal CIA agent (Johnson), coming home for his high school reunion. Claiming to be on a top-secret case, he enlists the help of the former “big man on campus” (Hart), now an accountant who misses his glory days. But before the staid numbers-cruncher realizes what he’s getting into, it’s too late to get out, as his increasingly unpredictable new friend drags him through a world of shoot-outs, double-crosses and espionage that could get them both killed in more ways than he can count.
“Central Intelligence” also stars Oscar nominee Amy Ryan (“Gone Baby Gone”), Aaron Paul (TV’s “Breaking Bad”), and Danielle Nicolet (TV’s “The Game”).
