New film review: Stuber

Image result for stuber


STUBER


A police officer trying to avenge the death of his partner has to enlist an Uber driver to help him get from point A to point B and C and D and on and on.


My takeaways from this film:


-Easily the worst title of a film this year. What were they thinking? How about Ride Share or something?


-Baiutista and Nanjiani have pretty good chemistry and the film has its moments. I just wish it was funnier...and maybe a little less plot holes. That being said................


-Bautista should not be a lead. His acting chops as a lead...lacks a bit. He is much better in a co-starring roll.


- It is good to see Mina Sorvino again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It is sad because I wanted this to be better. We do not get good comedy action movies in the theaters any more sadly. Production houses do not want to take the chance to put these types of films in the Cineplex these days, they end up on Netflix or Hulu or something like that. We need one of these types of films to break through. Sadly this is not it.


2 1/2 stars out of 5...and that may be generous. The film is harmless but worth the wait for home viewing.




From the shadows as always thanks for your time.
