Good acting for a comedy, and sufficiently laid out story.
But that's pretty much it. You could do with a selection of moments from the film and have the plot and the twist revealed to you, and not too much would change.
I watched it on Rai3 in Italian and do not consider the experience a waste of time as I did like bits and pieces, and the story didn't hurt. But that's already the basis of what you get when you are in front of the TV.
If you're down with not expanding your view of the world or seeing something amazing, any decent production will do.
I wonder why borrowed so directly from Die Hard for the sidelining, more serious plot. Something else could serve better the comedy elements of what they were trying. Something lighter, which could also make the whole deal a bit more credible.
I think the improvisational talents of the two leads could have been used more effectively with a less cliché story about the kidnapping and the robbery.
I was undecided between a 5 and a 6, but the level of sympathy I developed for the basic idea is not strong enough to allow a 6.
Do a perfect script doctoring, work on the details, shoot this again or sell it to Hollywood for a remake, and it can even surpass a 6.
