Saw it last night at an advance screening. Loved it. Ryan Reynolds and Samuel Jackson have great chemistry. It really filled a niche for action comedies that has been empty since Lethal Weapon faded away.

Don't get me wrong - they basically play themselves, but that's what makes it so damned funny.

I believe you.

And the trailer pretty much states that..

But does it have a "red" "smoking aces" " John wick" kinda feel?

Is it close quarter Jason bourn fighting?

Saw it Tuesday, loved it. Reynolds and Jackson compliment each other well.

So SLJ is an over aggressive loudmouth and RR is a passive aggressive snarky smartass the whole time?

Im down.

If you look at the late 80's and early 90's during the Action Comedy run nearly every damn one was written by Shane Black who was a master at it, His directing has been good except for Iron man 3.

But there have been a few action comedies that have been good since that run

Both Jump Streets
The other guys
The nice guys (shane black again)
Hot Fuzz
Both Bad Boys
