Agence de renseignement

Central Intelligence is slightly better than what you may expect.

The film's anti-bullying message is obvious but never drags on the pace or tone. Moreover, that message and the mindless laughs that Central Intelligence serves up along with it are things we could use now more than ever.

Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart team up for a spy-game action comedy that could have used less fake intrigue and more laughs.

Although Johnson and Hart are in talks to share the screen again in next year's “Jumanji” remake, Central Intelligence doesn't feel like the birth of a great comic duo - more like a blind date that goes a little better than expected. The chemistry's not there yet, but let's give it another shot.

It may not be a deep and complex masterpiece that will spawn symposiums and appreciations, but it is a classic of a very particular sort. It's the kind of movie that you watch on TV when you're supposed to be doing more important things, or experiencing more important movies, even though you've already seen it ten times, because it's still funny, and because you believe in the big man and the small man that he looks up to.

Agence de renseignement est donc un divertissement estival très léger - et dans lequel vous verrez un acteur et une actrice dont je ne dis rien pour ne pas gâcher l'agréable surprise - dont on sort content.
