I'm not quite sure if this is a movie or not, namely because it appears to have originally been a collection of short clips that came together as a full fledged movie. It seems that the company that originally made it ended up calling it quits, probably because, well, there was no money in the idea, and that they had spent most of their seeding capital creating content, such as this. However, it has landed up on Amazon Prime as a movie, so I'll basically work with that.
It's a film where a fictionalised version of Kevin Hart is sick of being a comedic side-kick and wants to become a full fledged action star. However, an outburst on live TV sort of puts his career on ice. Anyway, he is approached by a French director who is known for his action films, and invites him to become the leading actor, however he has to complete action hero school, which is located out in the mountains.
There are a few amusing parts of this film, but unfortunately it ends up that the whole thing falls flat after a while. Okay, there is a really interesting twist at the end, well, to an extend because there is some reveals about half-way through as to what is actually going on. Even though I could reveal it, I won't because, yeah, it is a twist.
I guess the whole film is about branching out from your comfort zone, and also pursuing your goals no matter how hard it is. Well, I could lay some criticisms here, but personally, I really don't want to because, well, that sort of defeats the purpose. The thing is that Kevin Hart isn't seen as an action hero, especially since he is scared of squirrels (this ends up being a running joke through the film).
Come to think of it, the whole don't stop pursuing your dreams because, well, there is also this think about, well, the whole idea that the definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. I'm not sure if that is the same as not giving up on your dreams, but it does make me wonder whether there are times when it is actually noble to just give up and try something different.
