Teddy: [About his minute photos] What's that, for your little serial killer wall?

Review:
This one lasted on the "My Watch" list for a few years. After finally getting to it, I wasn't disappointed.
Woody Harrelson is one of those actors for me who typically isn't in bad stuff, so this one got the benefit of the doubt. While I love Kevin Hart, the trailer alone felt very similar to a recent run of movies he's done, in a similar role, all of which, to be fair, are very entertaining. Just add this one to the list.
The Man from Toronto was very entertaining. The plot wasn't overly clever or profound, and Hart was what he does best, and yet, it still had me laughing out loud throughout the film. And as expected, Harrelson was good in his role.
The standout for this solid film is that it is a very visually appealing film. Especially the fighting scenes.
All in all, this was a solid effort. Nothing new. Nothing deep. Simple plot. Good action. Solid acting. Funny lines. Good entertainment.
Grade: 3/5
