I watched this on a very long trans-Pacific flight, so the bar for what is acceptable for entertainment was pretty low, and this did meet it (although it did not exceed it). It is a buddy action-comedy that offsets its run-of-the-mill sense of humor and marginal plot line and dialog with a pair of appealing leads. Kevin Hart plays a lovable screw up, Teddy Jackson, who gets mistaken for Woody Harrelson, the Man from Toronto, a stone cold contract killer and the two go about trying to make it work. Everything that can go wrong does, which is what makes Teddy tick, and through a series of unfortunate events and a few gratuitous killings, the two manage to get most of what they want. This movie is not good, and not for kids, but I was not sorry to have watched it.
