Nobby finds Sebastian at the event where he is supposed to save Rhonda from being assassinated. But an unfortunate event leads to the demise of a young lad, crashing both the brothers into trouble and hence are on a run to prevent being caught. Both of them hide at Grimsby but cannot hide for long. On the run, Sebastian is hit by poison darts but saved by Nobby. The movie is then a comical tale of the brothers saving themselves from being caught and rediscovering themselves. It is a tale of two brothers who rekindle their loving relationship with each other despite contrasting situations.

 Analysis

The movie is funny and slyly humorous and is incredibly creative. The movie is mainly nonserious and has quite a gibberish story plot at times. The movie is meant to be hilarious and may be disappointing to the audience looking for a logical and well-executed screenplay. The movie has a few absurd and claptrap plots at times, and it feels like a time kill. The movie perfectly showcases the contrasting characteristics of both the brothers who decide to put up with each other. The movie gets a little gross and cringe at times. The movie, although, has its own originality and vague dialogues that add to its Humour.

What's There?

•Sly humor and vague comedy that can entertain the audience not looking for logic.

•Comedic action sequences and perfectly timed dialogues and screenplay.

•Excellent actors and framework with intelligent and creative cinematography.

What's Not There?

•Lack of convincing storyline that keeps you hooked.

•The story becomes predictable after the first half, which makes it a bit tiring to watch.

•Lack of a solid plot and reliable plot to make the plot credible.

Verdict

The movie can be surely a one-time watch for the audience looking for a no logic and simply comedic movie with hilarious humor. Though the movie may appear cliche and diablerie to a set of audience who are looking for a strong plot and logically set movie. The movie can definitely be a hilarious leisure watch.
