Next Day Air (2009)

Why I wanted to watch this movie, I'm not really sure. It probably had to do with Donald Faison in the lead. That being said, this wasn't good.

There were a few intertwining storylines that went on here, so I'll try my best to sort them out. Leo (Faison) and Eric (Mos Def) both work for NDA (guess what that stands for) packaging service. Leo, per usual, decides to get high and becomes lackidaisical. So, he delivers a big shipment of cocaine to the wrong address. That leads the movie down a particularly unfunny and bloody path, the latter of which didn't even need to really happen. Involved are a drug lord, his drug-mule couple, two incompetent thugs and Mos Def.

This movie just didn't work at all. It had a couple of mildly humorous moments, mainly involving Faison or Mike Epps. All in all, this movie was just stereotypes aplenty and not a whole lot of redemption anywhere. If you plan to watch it, it's not a wise choice.
