"Half an Hour of Fright": Little jokes of little people

A little black comedy based on real events, a pizza delivery guy was caught by the police while robbing a bank. Unfortunately, the real character detonated the bomb on his body, and the character in the film retreated without danger. The director adapted a funny farce based on such a piece of news. He added a history teacher and his sister to the pizza delivery boy. The bomb on his body was also changed to a time bomb that was put on by the robbers. Within 30 minutes You must get 10W yuan, otherwise you will lose your life. In this way, the story of a pair of idiots confronting another pair of idiots began.

This film is the director's second tricky spoof of "Zombie Land", and because of "Social Network", the protagonist Jesse Eisenberg still uses expressionless, machine gun-like dialogue lines. For the style, let people see a thrilling and suspenseful contrast interpretation from the arrogant man to the life-saving man. Although it is a plot with a robbery as the main line, there are not many action scenes. Except for a few fast racing scenes, it is attracted by large sections of humorous dialogue. The male protagonist gets on his friend's sister, and the friend is reluctant to entangle him. Then there is a pair of idle treasures, all day long without practice, planning how to kill Dad to inherit a lot of inheritance.

A small-cost humorous comedy, a simple plot with few highlights, and it is quite vividly arranged by the director and actors. It's impossible to see belly laughter. The brisk rhythm and humanized interpretation can more or less relax us for an hour and a half. At least it is much better than some domestic vulgar comedies piled up with third-rate stars. In fact, the humor is very simple. We don’t need to play mystery and vulgar spoofs. It’s best to have a casual laugh.

    #Shocking30Minutes#---I still think the name is very strange, the bomb is obviously designed to be 10 hours, what does it have to do with 30 minutes. Jesse Eisenberg's performance is still a true performance, but the wishes of these guys are too low, and they don't know what to do with only 100,000 US dollars. What a shame for a movie with a million-dollar bill.

    Little India and Little Curly are both hilarious, offbeat bank robbing, offbeat pizza delivery, very fast paced, witty, humorous plot, and very light-hearted skit movies.

  • Dwayne: I've been thinking a lot about the 'polishing the scepter' deal. I know that's really not for polishing the scepter, you're just talking about sucking my dick. But I just want you to know that it's going to be mutual. You won't just have to polish my scepter, I will also lick your crown, which is a euphemism for eating your pussy. Ok, well give me a call when you get a chance. Goodbye.
