  Pizza delivery boy Eisenberg gets cornered into robbing a bank that sets off a domino effect of comedy ... well, that was the intention, and they came THIS close. Still, it does manage not to offend yer sensibilities too much. Not bad.

  The film has it's funny spots, but really does falter under the crude attempt to make it funnier than anticipated. 30 Minutes or Less provided loose chemistry among its duo of protagonists and antagonists regardless of the starpower. 3/5

  In "30 Minutes of Less," Dwayne(Danny McBride) has a cunning plan to kill his father(Fred Ward) with the help of his friend Travis(Nick Swardson) that starts with hiring a killer through Juicy(Bianca Kajlich), a stripper acquaintance. For the necessary funds, they attach a bomb to Nick(Jesse Eisenberg), a pizza delivery man, forcing him to rob a bank. Nick in return enlists the help of Chet(Aziz Ansari), a substitute teacher, who despite being longtime friends, are currently on the outs due to an argument over Chet's twin sister Kate(Dilshad Vadsaria). To its credit, "30 Minutes or Less" has some nice moments, and moves farely well. It also does a decent job in exploring the bonds of friendship while warning about the perils of seeing the wrong Kathryn Bigelow movie. Strangely enough, most of the other cultural references here involve the 80's, even before the characters were born.(But to be honest, you cannot go wrong with the classics.) What the filmmakers should have learned is that during heist movies, even comic ones, silence is golden. That's especially true here as the characters rarely have anything meaningful or civilized to say. And the less said about Danny McBride the better but Nick Swardson does show some promise.

  Being fascinated by the Brian Wells story & explored it to the best of my abilities & accessible details, I was keen on checking this one out. Although I admit to having discovered it relatively late, I got to it ASAP. And I also admit that the movie wasn't half as interesting as the real story (from which it is crystal clearly inspired) was. Besides the screenplay, none of the performances were outstanding. Neither its comedy is noteworthy nor its thrills (less than handful) tense enough. All the same, it wasn't a total disaster either. It isn't the best bargain, and I'd surely have appreciated a dramatic thriller format sticking to facts AFAP, it's a watchable fare as it is.
