In 30 Minutes or Less, directed by Ruben Fleischer, Jesse Eisenberg plays Nick, a slacker pizza delivery driver who has no ambition in life other than to hang out with his best friend Chet, played by Aziz Ansari. However, Nick's mundane existence takes a drastic turn when he is kidnapped by two bumbling criminals, Dwayne, played by Danny McBride, and Travis, played by Nick Swardson.

The criminals strap a bomb to Nick's chest and give him an ultimatum: he must rob a bank and bring them $100,000 in 10 hours, or they will detonate the bomb. Terrified and unsure of what to do, Nick turns to Chet for help. Together, they hatch a plan to rob a bank, something neither of them has ever done before.

As they fumble their way through the heist, things quickly spiral out of control. The police are hot on their trail, Dwayne and Travis are getting impatient, and Nick begins to question whether he can trust Chet. With the clock ticking down, Nick and Chet must figure out how to keep themselves alive and out of jail.

The film is packed with comedy, action, and suspense, making for a thrilling and entertaining ride. McBride and Swardson deliver hilarious performances as the dim-witted criminals, while Eisenberg and Ansari have great chemistry as the unlikely heroes. The film also features strong supporting performances from Michael Peña as a hitman hired to kill the two criminals, and Bianca Kajlich as Nick's love interest.

30 Minutes or Less is not just a comedy, but also a commentary on the dangers of apathy and the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions. Nick is forced to confront his own lack of ambition and motivation as he is thrust into a situation that requires him to step up and save his own life. Meanwhile, Dwayne and Travis are portrayed as victims of circumstance, but also as individuals who have made choices that have led them down a dangerous path.

Overall, 30 Minutes or Less is a fast-paced and enjoyable film that blends comedy and action perfectly. The talented cast and sharp writing make for a hilarious and memorable cinematic experience.
