The Man from Toronto

The man from Toronto knows how to make people talk. However, if Kevin Hart gets close to him, it’s clear he will aim for the opposite, ideally by skewering this loquacious entertainer on the tip of the CN Tower. I’d do it that way because there’s a lack of entertainment, and Woody Harrelson seemed to be fulfilling the role of a Statham replacement who was lost due to disagreements with producers. Although it’s not quite a durian, Patrick Hughes should realize that the stale content of his buddy comedies is starting to smell... (05/13/2024)

I don't think there isn't a single more unsatisfying activity in life than watching Kevin Hart comedies. Extra star for the gym fight. (06/25/2022)

Kevin Hart, Woody Harrelson, the director of The Hitman’s Bodyguard in an action-packed comedy full of  dark humor? Yes please! Plenty of crybabies here will heckle and put down the entire film, but anyone who loves Hart and his stand-up shows (which, by the way, are the best thing ever made in the stand-up/comedy field) will be drooling with bliss over The Man From Toronto. The two main characters, namely the "asshole" Hart and the cool hitman Harrelson, are a great contrast, the banter is brilliant, the central idea of a comedian getting caught up in a tough gangster deal and being forced to play hitman to avoid being discovered is great in itself, and when you add in solid and visually quite intense action, you've won. It's silly, it's stupid, but this is just typical Hart, so anyone who goes into the film expecting intellectual fodder is a fool. The humour suited me to the max, the action surprised me and I wasn't bored at all, so an above-standard four stars all round! (06/28/2022)

Funny action buddy comedy and my guilty pleasure. I love these genre films, and Patrick Hughes (The Hitman's Bodyguard) is a great fit for me. Of course, this movie doesn't have an appealing plot, it's silly and not everything makes sense, but it's a popcorn flick with all the trimmings and I had fun and even laughed out loud, so it’s only for people who seek out similar genre flicks, the rest can skip it. Woody Harrelson impressed me very much in the role of an infamous killer with emotions, a past and a character – these roles are tailor made for him so, as usual, he enjoys ot very much. Kevin Hart is just Kevin Hart, his humour either suits you or doesn't, for most people he is annoying and insufferable, I respect him as a comedian and his style suits me, so the two complement each other decently. There are a lot of cool lines and funny situations that I liked, but I was also pleased with the action itself, though it’s hurt by the PG-13, because the action scene in the gym with the chainsaw, crossbow, axes could have been a proper carnage, but at least it was a fun and spectacular with decent choreography and decent fights (the fight with the Man from Miami was also top). The film has a fast pace, flows well and fulfilled its purpose of entertaining the viewer for me. Story 3/5. Action 4/5, Humour 5/5, Violence 1/5, Fun 5/5 Music 4/5, Visuals 4/5, Atmosphere 3/5, Suspense 3/5, Emotion 3/5, Actors 4/5. 7.5/10 (06/27/2022)

An average buddy action-comedy. There's not much action, and what is there isn't great, but Kevin Hart and Woody Harrelson make a fun duo. (06/30/2022)
