Terribly Cliche film
Matthew Brady - wrote on 12/26/2014
I'm so happy that Tom Hardy and Chris Pine still have a career after this movie, because this almost ruining their acting career's, well to me it did.
This Means War is about these two deadly CIA operatives are inseparable partners and best friends until they fall for the same woman. Having once helped bring down entire enemy nations, they are now employing their incomparable skills and an endless array of high-tech gadgetry against their greatest nemesis ever - each other.
The one thing I always hate about these brain dead action comedy movies, is the fact that the action and comedy itself isn't well done and it feels out of place. Well what am I expecting from the same director who previously bought us Ouija, Terminator Salvation and 3 Days To Kill. If you haven't guess yet I …

This Means War review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 07/01/2012
The premise of Two CIA operatives using the resources of their office to woo a girl and get back at each other is ludicrous. It's funny how a guilty lady being serenaded by two hunks becomes fine with it. FDR Foster (Chris Pine) and Tuck Hansen (Tom Hardy) are colleagues and good friends who fall for a product tester named Lauren Scott (Reese Witherspoon). Soundtrack and effects were used effectively, unfortunately its still difficult to swallow the incidents when they were never reprimanded for the actions (being in the CIA don't they have firewalls or devices to track employees who misuse resources, unless they are carefree about it). This Means War provided sufficient comedy to keep one interested, but just wastes the casts skills in this mediocre action comedy that tries too much …

Best buds FDR (Chris Pine) and Tuck (Tom Hardy) are two CIA operatives who are great at what they do. After their latest assignment gets more publicity than they bargained for their boss (an underused Angela Bassett) takes them off the field and assigns them to office duties only. With time to spare, the idle two decide to boost up their love life.
Tuck is a divorced father of one who's really looking to find someone special again while FDR is a confident ladies’ man content to cruise the local video store searching for his latest conquest. The more reserved Tuck decides to take his chances with online dating website hoping he can meet a nice girl. Enter Lauren (Reese Witherspoon), an attractive, independent woman who appears to have everything except a love life. When Lauren …

'This Means War' Review
trophywife - wrote on 02/24/2012
Once in a great while, there is a romantic comedy that is deep, thought provoking, and touching. Just be aware that ‘This Means War’ is not one of those. If you are looking for action scenes, humor, and sexy British accents, however, this movie has your name written all over it.
THE GOOD: The opening scene of this movie is a great attention getter, with Chris Pine (FDR) and Tom Hardy (Tuck) playing CIA agents who smoothly waltz into a party that looks like it was hosted by Ashton Kutcher, flirt with a few women, and then begin shooting bad guys. We soon learn that they have awakened the wrath of Heinrich—German supervillan (played by Til Schweiger) and that becomes the secondary plot of the film. However, the main entertainment value lies in the fact that FDR and Tuck have …
