Review of The Interview (2014) by Ty P — 20 Nov 2016
Once you accept that by it's very nature The Interview is totally preposterous, you're in for a surprising treat.
This fantastical-thriller constantly rides a risky route towards its nervously anticipated conclusion, and it barely deviates from a 'not TOO bad' type of effort. It even becomes slightly profound in the latter stages.
What I really liked though, was how Franco & Rogen worked, in particular James. A demotion from his usual casting of funny guy without the funny; he thrives here. His Enthusiasm coupled with the nonchalant naivety lays grounding to an above average amount of actual real life "HA HA"-'s. It's almost romantic, and it made the film for me.
Congratulations to all involved.
