“Central Intelligence” (** out of four) was a mildly funny action comedy about a timid accountant (Kevin Hart) who reconnects with a high-school friend (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson) on Facebook and is unwittingly lured into a slapstick game of international espionage and intrigue. Scattershot laughs but not as funny as it could have- and should have- been. Obviously, the story isn’t supposed to be taken seriously but it’s pretty ridiculous and dumb after a while. Disappointing pairing of The Rock and Kevin Hart who could make a funny team with a more “intelligent” script.
