In a summer of action films, and raunchy comedies, it is refreshing to see an action-thriller-comedy like Next Day Air. It stars the very funny Donald Faison as Leo, an NDA worker who accidentally delivers a package belonging to a drug lord to a bunch of pot smoking, unsuccessful robbers. Emilio Rivera is both funny and creepy as the drug lord. Mike Epps and Wood Harris are excellent as the unsuccessful robbers who accidentally get the package. The movie is both thrilling and funny, although it is a bit off center, and someone's thumb gets cut off which was not needed. The movie's final showdown also wears the movie down. It is a very good movie, though. The movie is only about 90 minutes, but it would of been nice if it was 75 minutes, because that final, bloody shoot out was not needed. The movie is still very recommendable, and the cast is top-notch. The movie has a lot of laughs and still makes room for a lot of thrills. Overall, this is worth it, but I wouldn't say it's the work of a perfectionist or the work of a genius, just a pretty good movie.
