The not so smart Dwayne intends to open a massage parlor with his partner Travis, but he does not have money for the investment. He decides to hire a hit-man to kill his father, The Major, who won a large amount of money in the lottery years ago, but the killer demands US$ 100,000 for the job. Dwayne and Travis kidnap the pizza delivery boy Nick and they dress Nick in a vest with a timer and several bombs. Then Dwayne tells Nick that he has ten hours to rob US$ 100,000 from a bank. Once he does, he would give Nick the code to release the vest. Nick summons his best friend Chet to help him in the heist but the scheme does not work the way Dwayne has plotted.
Leave your thoughts about 30 Minutes or Less.
| OregonianMike RussellThe movie isn't a frame longer than necessary, the car stunts are cool, and the scenes with Ansari and Eisenberg pop -- particularly during their laugh-out-loud amateur robbery. |
| TheWrapAlonso DuraldeThe only consistent laughs come from Michael Peña's eccentric hired killer, the movie's one character who seems like someone we haven't seen a million times before. |
| NPRMark JenkinsThis slackers-go-gangsta comedy demonstrates that less than 90 minutes can be a very long time. |
| KWQC-TV (Iowa)Linda CookA raunchy heist comedy with a pace as fast as its dialogue, '30 Minutes Or Less' will have you laughing out loud. |
| Star-Democrat (Easton, MD)Greg MakiThe movie unfurls without rhythm, momentum or visual flair, but at a furious pace. |
| HitFixDrew McWeenyI'd still say you should see it if you like the people involved, but expect a movie that leaves you smiling without ever quite pushing you over to the full-blown laughter that all that talent might suggest. |
| VarietyPeter Debruge"Less" has trouble framing simple action, yielding clumsy car chases that put the burden of generating excitement on the music and editing. As a result, pic looks cheap and feels clipped. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawIt's entirely ridiculous, but it gallops cheerfully along; everything is carried off with flair and ingenuity. |
| Empire MagazineWilliam ThomasOutrageous and endearing, the Zombieland team swaps horror for crime in a daft caper that's undoubtedly slight but terrifically entertaining all the same. Very fast and lots of fun. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaDoesn't aim to be more than a fun, gleefully profane comic twist on a genre picture and succeeds in achieving its goal. |
