Vaughn's Time-Traveling Hitman Comedy

0:00On March 25th, Hulu and Disney Plus just dropped a new action comedy called Mike and Nick and Nick and Alice. It stars Vince Vaughn as a hitman named Nick, who time travels back to save his buddy Mike, played by James Marsden. Mike is falling for Nick's wife, Alice, portrayed by Aza Gonzalez. The title hints at the twist with two versions of Nick running around. The film kicks off with a fun, random song from the old Disney movie Oliver & Company, setting a quirky tone right away. Writer-director Ben David Grubinsky packs it with oddball references, like cat-of-sessions and time travel details, mixed with over-the-top shootouts, and chases that feel straight out of early 2000s blockbusters. The cast dives in with energy, including Keith David as a mob boss, Jimmy Totoro as his goofy son, and others like Emily Hampshire and Stephen Root. Vaughn adds some real depth to his tough guy, which stands out. It's silly and violent, perfect for low-key fun, though the characters are not exactly realistic.

1:01It runs 107 minutes and earns a two-and-a-half star rating, mostly for good laughs, clever music choices, and wild action. A few spots drag, making it feel a tad long. Still, if you want an easy go-for-broke watch without high stakes, this one delivers just enough pop to keep things moving.
