For Your Anticipation: Is That Thing Real?

I highly doubt that I'm going to buy into or care about "30 Minutes or Less", even though it's from the director of "Zombieland", which I remember liking back in 2009. How things can change in two simple years. There are so many components to this film that should work, like Jesse Eisenberg and Aziz Ansari are both pretty good comic actors. However, this film just doesn't seem to take things seriously enough. There is a bomb on the main character's chest. That should be more intimidating. It's not.

Red-Band Trailer: 30 Minutes or Less

And now we have a trailer for one of my most anticipated films of this year, 30 Minutes or Less. If it's only near the top of my list because it's directed by Ruben Fleischer, the man behind surprise piece of brilliance Zombieland, that's fine. It doesn't hurt that it also features Jesse Eisenberg, Aziz Ansari, and Danny McBride. I tend to be more than a bit misguided with the comedies this year, especially since Your Highness proved as dumb as the title. This trailer offers a look at the more humorous aspects of the film, but I pray they convey whatever heart might be in the situation. That balance was what made Zombieland such a brilliant hit, and this one is shaping up to be more along the lines of Pineapple Express.
