The Man from Toronto
SCORE: 59
I saw a preview for The Man from Toronto
and thought the movie could be funny. It has Kevin Hart and Woody
Harrelson in it. Kevin Hart plays the role of Teddy who happens to be a
grade A flake. He can't do simple things like change a lightbulb, or
change the toner. He takes his wife Lori on a wonderful trip for her
birthday at an Airbnb. Thanks to the low toner Teddy winds up at the
wrong house. Please note there will be spoilers in this review.
Teddy is mistaken for The Man from Toronto. His job is to extract
information out of someone these guys have been torturing. Teddy
stumbles his way through and gets the bad guys their information. The
FBI invade and capture everyone. They put Teddy in the field to continue
to pretend to be The Man from Toronto so they can catch this bad guy
trying to release a dirty bomb. Along the way the real The Man from
Toronto is tracking what is going on. Who is trying to steal his payday
and why?
The issues families will have with The Man from Toronto are bad
language, violence, blood, and more. The Man from Toronto is very
predictable. The angry, mean assassin winds up growing a heart and
wanting a normal life. The absolute and total screw up winds up getting
stronger and tougher in the process. Along the way the two wind up
building a friendship. The ending shows that quite well.
There are numerous humorous moments within The Man from Toronto. Teddy
accidently cuts a guys face and messes up his eye. When he tells the guy
to open his eye lid so he can see he throws up on him and another guy.
The guy they are looking for admits who he is and the bad guys applaud
The Man from Toronto for being so good at his job. Teddy also drops the
knives in that same interrogation.
The Man from Toronto is a very predictable and throw away action
adventure comedy movie. The Man from Toronto fits the streaming model
quite well. I will most likely completely forget about this movie within
a few months. Kevin Hart and Woody Harrelson both play their roles quite
well. They are believable in these situations. I find it neat that they
gave advice to one another. The contact less boxing is still a really
dumb idea. How do you know who wins?
