Stuber - 5 Sterne Undercover

It’s good that there are still screenwriters in American who are not afraid to write one action buddy comedy after another. Stuber is no wild ride, but it works alright as a comedy. Dave Bautista is a cool actor I wouldn’t mind seeing more often, Kumail Nanijani has stand-up comedy roots, and is able to surprise the audience. Together, they work as a good team, with cool catchphrases. What more would you want? It’s true that the golden days of Top Gun are long past, but it’s totally okay as a chill-out movie.

A fairly surprising action comedy that didn't look very attractive at first glance, but the positive reception of the audience was very encouraging, and in the end I am satisfied. Dave Bautista and Kumail Nanjiani have a decent chemistry, the action somehow works and the humour mostly worked, but most of all, the film has a fun and fast pace that makes it no place for boredom. Too bad Iko Uwais didn't get much space, but I'm still satisfied and I wouldn't mind a sequel. 70% (08.10.2019)

Beim Anschauen von Stuber kamen mir zwei Filme in den Sinn - direkt Der Killer & sein Bodyguard, indirekt auch Game Night - die ich beide am Ende etwas besser fand. Stuber hat immer noch ein flottes Tempo und mehr als eine humorvolle Szene, sei es Vics Blindheit oder Stus Bemerkungen, aber er hat nichts Überraschendes zu bieten, was man bei einem Film wie diesem nicht erwartet, aber dennoch ein Pluspunkt sein könnte. Das Ergebnis ist ein actiongeladener, humorvoller Film, der weder beleidigt noch verblüfft! P. S. Ich war unglaublich genervt von Tedjo, den ich angesichts seines weitgehend leichenhaften Körperbaus zu übermächtig fand. (11.07.2019)

This comedy certainly wasn’t overwhelming for my brain, the plot was quite simple and predictable. But I must admit that the humor in the film worked, especially desperate Stu's hilarious one-liners. I had a surprisingly good time. (25.10.2019)
