Central Intelligence is a wholesome entertainment movie directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber. The cast includes Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Amy Ryan, and Aaron Paul in the lead roles. The story revolves around their friendship, life and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Dwayne Johnson, who is popularly known as The Rock, plays the role of Bob Stone. And, Kevin Hart is seen as Calvin Joyner.
The film opens with a flashback where in his school graduation ceremony, Bob is bullied for being overweight. He feels empty, embarrassed and he is the butt of all jokes. And we have Calvin who has everything under his cap. From being an athlete to a school topper, he is pretty much successful in all his endeavours. Besides, the hottest girl in the school is also by his side.
Kevin Hart (Calvin Joyner) who always has a soft corner for Bob, meets him after 20 long years. He is awestruck by his changeover. Tables turn as we see Bob as a rather fit and muscular person this time. He is labelled as the king of actions and proves his strength against the baddies. Bob has now become the celebrity among the group of girls. On the other side, Kavin is married to his high school sweetheart Maggie and leads a mundane life as a loser accountant. He feels that his life is incomplete, but Dwayne motivates him by showing the right direction.

Bob seeks the favour of Calvin to save the compromised US spy satellite system from enemies, who are trying to sell bogus plans and destroy the country. Whether Calvin will trust his friend and whether he will be in or out of his ambitious plan forms the rest of the story.
The Rock has given a good performance, especially in the action sequences. However, it is Kevin Hart who steals the show. His witty expressions and humour remains a feast for eyes. In every scene, he manages to keep the audience spellbound with fun and frolic experiences. Amy Ryan as Agent Pamela Harris has carried herself with elan and grace, purely based on professionalism.
We can see how the bond is nurturing between two school buddies- Bob and Calvin. Their on-screen chemistry is good and effective. However, the film lacks in momentum and pace. In spite of the acting skills that is portrayed, one has to keep the intelligence quotient (IQ) away from Rawson Marshall Thurber's Central Intelligence.
