“30 Minutes or Less” is a manic movie that equally balances humor and thrills.
Jesse Eisenberg is in terrific form as Nick, an unappreciated pizza delivery guy just trying to get by. One night he’s delivering a pizza and WHAM he’s kidnapped, a bomb is strapped to his chest and told to rob a bank by two unknown masked men. The clock begins to tick as Nick is off on the adventure of his life.
After he suckers his best friend Chet, played by Aziz Ansari to help him, the chase is on. All the while the duo are being followed by Nick’s kidnappers (Danny McBride and Nick Swardson) just make sure he doesn’t deviate from the plan.
“30 Minutes or Less” is a genuinely funny thrill-ride. If you are sensitive to harsh language you might want to stay away, otherwise go and enjoy. It gets a sold B and is rated R.
