Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I had not heard about this movie prior to finding it on Netflix. I read the synopsis for it, and it seemed like it could be a fun enough movie. So I took the time to sit down and watch it.And it turned out that "30 Minutes or Less" was actually a rather entertaining comedy spiced up with some action and a fairly good story.The character's in the movie and the actors and actresses portraying them really helped bring the movie up to a level of proper enjoyment. Usually I am not overly much of a fan of Jesse Eisenberg nor Danny McBride, but they really carried the movie quite nicely. However, it was Aziz Ansari who really stood out as the most memorable of all the cast.There were some really good laughs and funny moments throughout the course of the storyline.I will say however that I seriously doubt that this is the type of movie that you watch more than once, unless you are a big fan of anyone on the cast list though.

This film tells the story of a pizza delivery man, who sees little future in his job because people abuse the pizza delivery pledge. One day, he is kidnapped by two criminals. An explosive device is strapped into him, and he is forced to come up with $100,000 in exchange for his safety.The plot sounds funny on paper, but the actual film does not work at all. The story is very silly, to the point where it becomes annoying instead of funny. The supposed jokes are unnecessarily over sexualised, and I honestly don't need to see tasteless scenes in the form of a lap dance. The robbery is very unbelievable, I just don't believe how effects can turn it that way. Actually, the whole film is unbelievable and annoying. I wish the film was 30 Minutes or less, but it wasn't.

I'm starting to really like Jesse Eisenberg as an actor. Yeah, he isn't that great, but the movies are great and the characters he plays are fun. I also like Aziz Ansari, mostly because I like his stand up and I like his show Master of None on Netflix. Those two were the main reasons I was interested in this movie - them and the plot seemed interesting.Of course after reading about it online, the story of the movie seems more and more wrong. I don't know how many of my readers are aware of the death of Brian Douglas Wells. I only learned about this now, mostly because I was seven at the time it happened and wasn't exactly following news. I'm not sure if I've quickly read through something about the case, but I wasn't really that aware of it. And even if the makers of the movie claim the case of Brian Douglas Wells hadn't inspired the movie, it does feel pretty bizarre how similar the situations are, and how they kind of made that situation into a comedy. But before I learned about that I actually did enjoy the movie. It is thrilling and funny. Best part of the movie is the dialogue. It's the best kind of dialogue in an action comedy. It's weirdly casual and natural yet it suits the unusual situation. However the plot does have so unfortunately typical plot points we'd all rather just let die. They are easy to predict and frustrating and frankly they are getting old.I enjoyed this movie. It's okay for an action comedy - action comedies don't need to be good, they just need to be entertaining, and 30 Minutes or Less definitely is. The key note is: it could've been better. Everything about this movie could've been way better, but either the filmmakers didn't think that, or they were satisfied with the decent movie they made.

Dwayne (played by Danny McBride) and Travis (Nick Swardson) hire a hit-man to kill Dwayne's father, as he recently won the lottery and they want to open a massage parlour. The hit-man isn't cheap, so to pay the $100,000 he demands for the job, they kidnap a pizza delivery guy, Nick (Jesse Eisenberg), strap a bomb to him and tell him they will blow him up unless he robs a bank and brings them at least $100,000. Then things get weird...Silly, but fun. Plot is ridiculous, but the movie is carried by the over-the-topness of the performances, especially those of Danny McBride and Aziz Ansari. Very funny, especially McBride and Ansari's dialogue.Jesse Eisenberg plays the straight guy to McBride and Ansari's antics, and does a good job. Nick Swardson is perfect as McBride's sidekick. Good support from Michael Pena, Dilshad Vadsaria and Fred Ward.
