The Courier: A Spoiler-Filled Recap
Critic: So, let’s dive into “The Courier.” Picture this: a guy named Gary, who’s not exactly your typical action hero. He’s more of a delivery guy with a penchant for getting himself into deep trouble. He’s tasked with delivering a mysterious briefcase to a notorious crime figure, and let me tell you, it’s not just a simple Uber Eats run!
Friend: Oh, I can’t wait to hear how that goes. Does he have a sidekick or something?
Critic: Well, sort of! Gary has his own little entourage of misfits. There’s a corrupt cop who seems to be more interested in his paycheck than upholding the law, and then there’s a rival gang that’s about as friendly as a porcupine in a balloon factory. They’re all after Gary because, surprise surprise, the briefcase contains something a bit more dangerous than just takeout menus!
Friend: I’m guessing it’s not just a bunch of old receipts?
Critic: Bingo! Inside the briefcase is a treasure trove of secrets that could bring down the entire criminal underbelly. And, of course, everyone wants a piece of it. It’s like Black Friday, but instead of TVs, they’re fighting over life-altering information. Gary finds himself in a cat-and-mouse game that makes the chase in “The Fast and the Furious” look like a leisurely stroll in the park.
Friend: So, is Gary just running around the whole movie?
Critic: Oh, he’s running, hiding, and occasionally crying. At one point, he ends up in a back alley, hiding behind a dumpster, debating whether he should just give up and open a bakery instead. But then he remembers that the bad guys are still hot on his trail, and suddenly, making croissants doesn’t seem so appealing!
Friend: I bet there’s a big showdown at the end, right?
Critic: You bet your boots there is! It all culminates in a dramatic confrontation where Gary has to outsmart not just the corrupt cops but also the gangsters who want to turn him into Swiss cheese. There’s a twist involving the corrupt cop that I didn’t see coming. Let’s just say, trust issues are a real thing!
Friend: And does he succeed with the delivery?
Critic: Well, let’s just say it’s a bumpy ride. He does manage to deliver the briefcase, but not without a few broken bones and a whole lot of chaos. And in the end, Gary realizes that sometimes, you can’t just run from your problems. Sometimes, you have to face them head-on—preferably while holding a baseball bat!
Friend: Sounds like a wild ride! Did he at least get to keep the briefcase?
Critic: Oh, he definitely keeps the briefcase. But it’s not what you think—it’s filled with evidence that could take down a crime syndicate. So, instead of a trophy, he’s got a target on his back for life. But hey, at least he’s got a great story to tell at parties!
Friend: I can’t wait to watch it. Thanks for the hilarious recap!
