Nick (Jesse Eisenberg) is a pizza guy with few long-term goals in life, and his friend Chet (Aziz Ansari) is sick of hearing about it, especially when Nick admits his interest in Chet's sister Kate.
When Nick is knocked out by two guys in masks, a bomb is strapped to him and he's told that he has ten hours to rob a bank if he wants to live. He has to call upon Chet to help him and the two of them have just ten hours to get the criminals their money if Nick wants to live to take Kate out on a date.
The movie isn't perfect though, because the comedy does start to get a bit too madcap at times, but even so, the movie constantly succeeds at mixing balls-out action with raunchy laughs in a way that never skimps on either. When the movie ends, a bit abruptly, it does leave you wanting to see more of these characters, which is rarely a bad thing.
Like the Coen Brothers on speed, "30 Minutes or Less" is an inspired update of the classic buddy action-comedy of the '80s and '90s" and one of the fastest and funniest movies you're likely to see this month.
