With "30 minutes or so," the director Ruben Fleischer ("Zombieland") is a structural change in the odd end of the 80 - / action comedy in the early 90-boyfriend.

It follows two couples - one on each side of the law - giving them time to screen approximately equal. (The filmmakers mention "Heat" as an influence.) This is a quick laugh, but biased, B-comedy with a hard R.

Manuscript has been getting some bad press bad taste. It seems to remove the base from 2003 in real-life case of Brian Wells, a pizza driver was forced Wells to rob the bank that men are chained to a bomb around his neck. Wells was killed by a bomb on live TV.

But beyond the installation, "30 Minutes" is not really all that dark. It is mostly an exercise in humor, threw punches, clearly nostalgic for disputes chaos flooded the multiplexes for two decades.

Here, two lazy idiot scuzzballs (Danny McBride, Nick Swardson) Strap a bomb on a pizza delivery slackery slightly lower (Jesse Eisenberg) who takes his school sweetheart (Aziz Ansari) in the plot.

Fleischer has lips "Zombieland" action to take. The movie is not longer than necessary, the cascades of cool cars, and the scenes with Ansari and Eisenberg pop - particularly during laughter strong amateur burglary.

But half of McBride / Swardson the film as something more sinister, does not have the same problems or distributed Ansari tight desperate manic energy - even after Michael Pena appears as a compensation hyperviolence wildcard.

This leaves the right "30 Minutes" feeling (but not fatally) flawed, tragic and comic as it leaves the pizza guy in a sweat.

(. 83 min, R, in different locations) Grade: B
