Stuber

[Drunk Monk]

Bautista, Nanjiani & Uwais. Nice to see a non-white cast of leads, but it's very uneven, a throwback to buddy flicks that has some funny moments but they are too few and far in between. The pacing never quite comes together. Bautista doesn't carry the lead well.  He's best as a foil for someone else, not a lead.  Nanjiani has good comic timing but needed more opportunities.  Their buddy chemistry is almost there, but not quite. I laughed at a few lines, but I don't remember them now. Uwais is a cardboard cut-out villain, totally under used.  The fight choreo is wobbly cam, completely invalidating Uwais' talent and obscuring the tiny glimmers of his special skills.  Disappointing show for Iko overall, but at least he got third credit. 

I feel like I just sat through a long ad for Uber, with a small commercial break for Sriracha.
