I was actually hoping for better results from this. The pairing of Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart does pay off from time to time, but, for the most part, Central Intelligence follows a lazy path the is part spy caper, part high school reunion comedy and mostly generic banality. For every genuine laugh, there are about five things that fall flat. Close but no potato gentlemen.

Everything else in the film that surrounds the two leads and their good intentions is the …
