Critics Consensus

Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson make for well-matched comic foils, helping Central Intelligence overcome a script that coasts on their considerable chemistry.

Overall, Central Intelligence isn't 48 Hours... However, if you enjoy Hart's stand-up comedy, and his other numerous flicks, then you'll probably enjoy this one as well.

This is a tongue-in-cheek buddy movie that's above average, but not too far above average.

Hart and Johnson got me to laugh, their antics just ridiculous enough to keep me entertained.

Unfortunately the film falls very flat. The jokes feel tired and it struggles to make an impact.

The artist formerly known as The Rock has long since proven that he has more natural acting chops than any other former muscleman-turned-thespian (sorry, Arnie), and he's absolutely riotous here.

Central Intelligence isn't going to be on anyone's list of the best films of the year, but it is definitely a good way to spend a lazy summer night -- especially if you want to laugh.

I normally love Kevin Hart and Dywanyne Johnson together, but this was just unwatchable. Didn't laugh even once. Extremely disappointed.

Another soulless Kevin Hart/ Dwayne Johnson movie. It’s watchable but don’t expect citizen cane level effort from the cast
