Стубер, Stuber - 5 Sterne Undercover
In a desolate summer of blockbuster sequels and Disney remakes and Pokémon moonlighting as detectives, it’s hard to overstate how refreshing it is to see a studio movie as silly and self-contained as Michael Dowse’s “Stuber.” Spider-Man is nowhere to be found. The biggest action scene is set in a sporting goods store. And the hero isn’t fighting to save the planet, but only to help pay for the small business he wants to open with his crush (it’s a spinning gym geared towards single women called “Spinsters”). If not for the triple-underlined nowness of an action-comedy about a rideshare driver — will that premise make even a lick of sense to anyone in the future? — and a socially…
This is very funny but it's also yet another action comedy made by people who can't shoot action and don't have the bloodlust necessary to make this feel simultaneously transgressive and faithful to genre. There's a brilliant version of this where Nanjiani isn't the usual put-upon weiner who learns how to stick up for himself but instead a miserable dork with nothing to lose who self-actualizes with a gun in his hand, something terrifying and hilarious that the tough cop can't control. Thank God for Dave Bautista though, the guy is a treasure. Fun, but we can all do better.
this is frequently funny and bautista is growing into a genuinely special performer; while the rock has gone full instagram branded gym bro content actor here is a dude with a physicality just as absurd willing to use it to play wounded and silly. however the ~toxic masculinity~ angle of this felt really performative and undercooked to me and the action is unforgivable. what's even the point in hiring iko uwais if you're gonna shoot some shaky close-ups and cut them to shit? for the love of god just hire a stunt guy to 2nd-unit ghost direct the fights or something.
If you're going to make a dogshit pseudo-comedy that doubles as a 90-minute piece of sponsored content for a predatory hell app, is it too much to ask for said hell app to be accurately depicted? THAT'S NOT HOW UBER WORKS!!
Nicole: So, how do you know my dad?
Stu: He kidnapped me. We killed some people
This was surprisingly good considering how low the ratings are.
The story had an interesting idea, which was somewhat original. The movie still had many cliches and it was mostly pretty predictable but it is a dumb fun action comedy so what did you expect?
The action was good and along with the comedy, it gave the movie a nice pacing with few slow moments.
I liked the chemistry between Dave Bautista and Kumail Nanjiani, even though Kumail Nanjiani’s character had a few unfunny moments that occasionally made his character mildly annoying. He also had good moments so it wasn’t too bad but I…

I'm more likely to take Uber than Lyft because of this movie. I know how stupid that is but I'm just being real.
A beta male uber driver at a crossroads in his life crosses paths with an alpha male police detectve at a crossroads in his life and hilarity ensues. I think really liking this movie is the biggest surprise of the year for me so far because I found this consistently chuckle-worthy to belly laugh from about 5 minutes into the movie until about 5 minutes left in the movie.
Dave Bautista and Kumail Nanjiani, both of whom I like, have a really good comic…

Let’s rewind to a time before Guardians when no one was taking Dave Bautista serious as an actor; because no one believed he could transcend past his “calling” like The Rock did. Let’s rewind back to a time before The Big Sick when Kumail Nanjiani wasn’t a top tier comedian. That film made Hollywood take him significantly more serious and allowed him to get cast in roles like this. With their comedic chops, I anticipated this movie to be way funnier than it was. It was definitely funny but the jokes were more 50/50 instead of 70/30 (like I usually prefer in a comedy). When a comedy isn’t funny, it has…
By-the-numbers action-comedy that unfortunately lets down its affable leads.
However, late in the movie there was a tracking-your-uber/delivery-driver joke that I got a chuckle out of and found all to relatable. I am totally that guy. They’re always taking the wrong routes and it’s extremely frustrating lol
Sometimes I just want to watch something that has a simple story and is around 90 minutes long. Stuber is not a great film, but for 90 minutes it holds my attention and kept me entertained. The R-rated violence it's what separates itself from PG-13 action comedies, and I think it makes it funnier. There are not enough Iko Uwais. He is only in the opening and the last 15 minutes. Karen Gillan also just has an extended cameo, which I expected. Overall a good time.
A terrible 90 min advert for Uber and an insult to the viewer's intelligence.
It only gets a one star for not being as shit as that Google film with Owen Wilson and the other bloke.
Cute take on the Cop Buddy movie genre. The leads had good chemistry. The Coffee Crisp reference made me smile.
Smijesniji od nekih filmova koje se predstavljaju za samo komediju u svrhu nasmijavanja gledaoca (nazalost, ima ih dosta koji su cringe)... Prvih 30, 40 minuta sam se postenski nasmijao.
Za jednu ovakvu buddy action komediju sa tipicnom 'osvecivanje mrtvog kolege policajca' pricom, film i nije tako los. Mogli su malo vise Batistu da guraju naprijed sa akcionim dijelovima (onoliki covjek da popije tolike batine) ali dobro, sasvim je solidno ispalo.
Ova dva lika imaju tako dobru hemiju da se nadam da ce snimit jos po neki film u skorije vrijeme.
Good action sequences , laugh out loud jokes and with great characters ( except from the awful villains ) Stuber is one of the most fun I had in a long time
RATING :
77% : GREAT
I saw this a few months back and have absolutely no idea what happens in it. I retained nothing. Here are some stars, because I remember laughing a few times. I think?
