I have to admit.. I half expected this to completely suck.
But it manages to get something somewhat right.. a charming "villainous" Presidente of a Colombia(?) Country and its volatile situation. As the script develops, it paints an understandable and believable picture, as if IT was the main character of the movie.. so it isn't a total loss.
I still found it boring.
With a skippable start, awkward interactions, strange line delivery, atrocious pacing and scenes that last just long enough to feel weird. Not to mention the bad CGI, dull action and intrigue. Also, calling this a comedy is a lie straight out! But the most disappointing part has to be the cast (aside from the mentioned President), that could have been comprised of any "Hollywood star", honestly. Those in place don't add anything to it. And Alison Brie continues to get roles that show how replaceable she seems to be.. which is sad.
Would I recommend this?
Not if you have to pay for it.. It lacks imagination, creativity and memorability in almost every department.
