The Brothers Grimsby ½

Louis Leterrier  directrd this Action/Comedy. Watch Preview. Cast: Sacha Baron Cohen, Mark Strong, Isla Fisher, Rebel Wilson, Gabourey Sidibe, Penelope Cruz. Rated R for strong crude sexual content, graphic nudity, violence, language, and some drug use. Running time is one hour and twenty-three minutes.

MI6’s top assassin (Mark Strong) has a brother. Unfortunately for him, he’s an English football hooligan (Sacha Baron Cohen) from the town of Grimsby.

You say you've never been offended by a movie? Would you like to be? Well, here you go. I'm one of those who don't find films really offensive, just bad, but this one is truly, truly distasteful. It's a combination of a typical Mark Strong action film with a typical Sacha Baron Cohen attempt at a comedy, so it does have a little action going for it, but this isn't something I could ever recommend for a rational adult. In fact the only thing going for this film is that it's less than an hour and a half long. The cast and production values are fine as is the pacing, but the excessive crudity ruins it all. The only group I can see actually enjoying this film are boys who are too young to get in the theatre due to the rating, and the actual rating description is mild compared to what you'll see on the screen..

There is a short scene at the end of the credits. Screen size is unimportant because your eyes will be closed for most of the film. Theatres/Times.
