QUICK TAKE:
Action/Comedy: Wanting to kill his father, a low-life and his buddy kidnap a pizza delivery guy, strap a bomb to his chest, and tell him he has ten hours to rob a bank and get the $100,000 they need to hire a hit-man for the job or else they'll detonate the bomb.
PLOT:
Nick (JESSE EISENBERG) is an average guy who -- when not hanging with his school teacher buddy, Chet (AZIZ ANSARI), or secretly seeing that man's sister, Kate (DILSHAD VADSARIA) -- works as a pizza delivery driver and must always contend with needing to beat the 30 minute delivery rule. After his latest delivery, he ends up with a new deadline and that's 10 hours to rob a bank and deliver $100,000 to Dwayne (DANNY McBRIDE) and his dimwitted buddy, Travis (NICK SWARDSON), or else they'll detonate a bomb vest they've strapped to his chest.

Dwayne can't stand his lottery-winning, ex-Marine father, The Major (FRED WARD), and thus Dwayne's favorite stripper, Juicy (BIANCA KAJICH), tells him he can hire a hit-man by the name of Chango (MICHAEL PENA) for one-hundred grand. With he and Travis tracking Nick's every move, the pizza delivery guy and his buddy race against time to pull off the heist, get the money back to the thugs, and receive the code that will deactivate the bomb strapped to Nick's chest.

WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: R
