- Quotes
Tommy: So let me get this straight, it's 30 days, right? and you guys are hunting me for my life but you cannot touch me if I am with someone and the hunters might not even ever make it to my city, so there's a chance I spend the entire 30 days and no one even finds me and then I get a million dollars, that's the game?
Magnus: Are you interested?
Tommy: Let's play.

Featured review
Surprisingly a Very likeable movie
Why surprising? Well, I have seen some of Johnson work before and whilst I find him a talented comic actor, I also find that most of his movies have a good central idea, like this one, but then drift away as time goes on.
This one, kind of does that that, but it builds up so much good will, in the viewer, during its runtime that it really doesn't really matter.
There are many smart cameos from Andy Samberg and Christopher Lloyd and Anna Kendrick.
The best thing about this is the central idea which reminded me a little of It Follows, the horror movie from a few years ago, this is like a comedy version of that.
Well worth a watch.
