Synopsis: After he reconnects with an awkward pal from high school through Facebook, a mild-mannered accountant is lured into the world of international espionage.
Review: One year before Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Johnson and Hart were already united in this Action Comedy. Most of the humor plays on the contrast between the pair of actors (tall muscular with a deep voice vs. its opposite), the characters they play and how those characters have evolved since High School (ambitious most-likely-to-succeed vs. overweight shy). That's pretty obvious from the tagline on the poster already: "Saving the World takes a little Hart and a big Johnson". I was attentive for a good half hour, finding that the characters' contrast could bring something but the big laugh I was expecting never came, just little smiles at the performance of two actors who did the best they could. As often in such movies the Comedy overwhelms the Action which then cannot be taken seriously at any point. At least I didn't get bored watching it, but two weeks later I have already forgotten most of it.
