Review of Next Day Air. Delivery!

Next Day Air is the film about some stupid hustlers who get a box full of cocaine in the mail delivered by a crack head who got the address wrong and the Hispanics who try to get their coke back go on a hunt through Philadelphia to find the punks who stole it. Wow. I'm going to need an Advil after that. Next Day Air actually flips between four story lines. There's the crackhead delivery man, there's the crackhead hoodlums who try to sell the coke, there's the crackhead cousin of one of the hoods who wants to buy the coke, and then there's the crackhead Hispanics who want to coke back. A lot of crackheads. In the end everybody ends up coming together and the firefight at the end is ridiculous and cool. The acting is strong on Mos Def's part, but he's only in two scenes. Most everybody else is just OK. The movie sometimes flips back in time as well in order to give somewhat of a humorous back story but usually it's just to keep the clock running and to waste your time. Actually, most of the scenes in here are cool and fun, but at some points I could tell that the editors just said screw it and just threw it together. The soundtrack is decent if you like Hip-Hop or Rap.The Verdict:While Next Day Air is funny, what it usually ends up delivering to be more stylized than humorous. If you like dark comedy or you like inner-city stories, it's worth a look. I give Next Day Air 3.5 puns with names out of 5. 3.5/5.
