	Media	Author	Review
		Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"The plot is moronic and the final act drags, but this buddy romp is elevated by the glorious inanity of Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart’s central double act (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"A spy-game action comedy that could have used less fake intrigue and more laughs (...) The sort of movie that, in its highly formulaic way, reveals a lot about what audiences are seeking today"
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"A stupid comedy that surprises only by being less awful then you expect (...) Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson promise something they can't deliver: a movie as funny as they are (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"
		Jon Frosch The Hollywood Reporter	"'Central Intelligence' demonstrates an above-average interest in story and character (...) It's been made with a certain level of polish and professionalism. And it capitalizes on the chemistry between Hart and Johnson"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"One of those slick, gunplay-riddled, stupidly plotted, aggressively loud buddy movies (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"
		Tom Huddleston Time Out	"Here’s definitive proof that a single performance can make an entire film (...) [Dwayne Johnson] delivers a performance of such charm (...) that the screen practically glows every time he appears (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"
		Sam Adams The Wrap	"'Central Intelligence' doesn’t feel like the birth of a great comic duo — more like a blind date that goes a little better than expected. The chemistry’s not there yet, but let’s give it another shot"
